Loved your comment on youtube calling Jimmy Mataya a douche.

Stupid and embarassing
Reminds me of an old saying.
"Sometimes if you keep your mouth shut people may think you're an idiot, or you can open it and prove it."
It is better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than to open it and remove all doubt - Oscar Wilde
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.
- Abraham Lincoln
Just started watching this. Pretty funny. That's Jimmy Mataya, Eva Mataya's first husband. He met her in Vegas I believe when she was a playboy bunny. He was a solid player back in the day....a pro. He taught her. Funny funny video so far....Pretty Boy Floyd....hahahahaha.
I don't think that is a real Lincoln quote. He has been attributed with saying many thing he never said. Somewhere out there is a list of it all.

In conclusion, there is no substantive evidence that this popular adage was coined or employed by Abraham Lincoln or Mark Twain. The earliest ascriptions to these famous figures appeared many years post death. QI thinks that Maurice Switzer is currently the top choice for coiner of the expression though future data may reveal alternative claimants.
