journal 86 feb 10th 09

abraham lincoln is credited with the saying that it is better to remain silent and have everyone that you are an idiot than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.

what i think he meant by this is really think about what you say before you say it.  most people it  seems just say whatever is on their mind and sometimes it leads to them looking foolish.  I agree with this statement because i know alot of people that tend to talk and talk but nothing that they say has any truth to it.  i don't understand why people can't admit that they don't know something or are wrong about things.  they just try to find a way to justify their words and in the end if they are wrong they look like the idiot.
