That's awesome! Words to live by IMO

I generally really like Johan's outlook on life. Some of his tweets are classics. His book isn't bad either.

It's a very old saying. It's been credited to both Lincoln and Twain but I think that it is probably much older. Whatever the case, it has always and will always be true.

Sometimes it is better to be silent and thought a fool, than to speak up and remove all doubt!

I think at least Lincoln used it.

Here's the tweet.

If Bruyneel is directing that at Contador's disdain for Armstrong, then perhaps he failed to heed his own advice.

LA and AC would both do well to heed this advice.

Basically paraphrased from the Bible..so yeah..older than Lincoln and Twain..

Proverbs 17:28
Even a fool is thought wise if he keeps silent, and discerning if he holds his tongue.
