He who asks a question is a fool for five minutes; he who does not ask a question remains a fool forever.

Excellent point....So in the spirit of things here are a few of my favorites

"A proverb is a short sentence based on long experience"

"It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open one's mouth and remove all doubt."

And probably the one I find when dealing with other people at work is...

"You Can't Listen With Your Mouth Open" - mind you I would need to add a Dumbass in there, just to make it me....

So.. if I stand with both legs on metro rails, and lift up my hands to touch the power lines, will I ride like the metro?
