Never miss a good chance to shut up

Humorist Will Rogers died 71 years ago, but some of his one liners still ring true today, especially in these waning days leading up to elections. ChronWatch posted a few of his insightful musings:
Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment.
Never miss a good chance to shut up.
There are three kinds of men: ones that learn by reading, few who learn by observation, and the rest of them have to pee on the electric fence and find out for themselves.
After eating an entire bull, a mountain lion felt so good he started roaring. He kept it up until a hunter came along and shot him. The moral: When you’re full of bull, keep your mouth shut.

    My favorite Roger-ism: “I belong to no organized political party. I’m a Democrat.”

    But what about those times when you know you should shut up, but you just like to talk?
