I think I read this in an earlier post but it wasn't quoted quite right, or at least not the way I ALWAYS heard it growing up.

It's better to keep your mouth shut and be thought a fool, then to open it and remove all doubt.

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed bythe things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. Sothrow off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor.Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream.Discover. - Mark Twain
