Let thy speech be better than silence, or be silent. - Dionysius the Elder [430-367 B.C.]

He advised that speaking out should only be done if ones words carry more weight, truth, or utility than simply remaining quiet. Don't just stay quiet because it's easier or more popular.

Something so many have forgotten these days.😷

As I scroll through the posts, trying to find one worth replying to.

Lincoln said something like that over 2,000 years later:

"It is better to remain quiet and be thought a fool, rather than to open your mouth and remove all doubt," or words to that effect.

I follow the old advice of remaining silent to let people wonder how dumb I am, instead of speaking and removing all doubt.
