Opening Your Mouth in Haste or for Malice

I was strolling through one of my many old moleskins this morning and got to revisit two of my favorite quotes that I jotted down a few years ago:

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt. -President Abraham Lincoln

and

We suffer the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought. -President John F. Kennedy

Good things to remember the next time it crosses your mind to speak out only in promotion of your own self interest(s).
