I'm trying to remember a quote. I don't know who said it but it goes something like, "It's better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid, than to open it and remove all doubt." Can anyone help me out?

l3i7l says: This quote is usually attributed to Mark Twain, but somewhere on the 'net' it was noted that while popularized by Twain, it did not originate with him. Since I was searching for some other quote at the time I did not make note the site, or follow-up on it. Has anybody else ever seen this attributed to another person?
