My dear,
In times when I am unlearned on a subject I keep quiet. I do not thread about the idea of them thinking of me a fool for not speaking.
It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open one’s mouth and remove all doubt.
A mark of the wise is to know when they are unwise. Practice being wise.
Falsely yours,
Abraham Lincoln
