    Lincoln advised that it is better to stay silent than to speak without thinking, as speaking foolishly confirms any doubts about one's intelligence, while remaining silent leaves some doubt. Speaking rashly can damage one's reputation by proving oneself a fool, while keeping quiet preserves plausible deniability about one's wisdom or lack thereof.
