Argue?

Post by Uncle Al »

Just saw this posted by a friend on FaceBook.
It is a very good quote which can apply to almost any situation :!:

"Never argue with a fool in public,
people may not know the difference".

There's also the sage advice, "It is frequently best to keep ones mouth shut in public and risk being thought a fool than to open it and be proved so."

Or even: 'Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.'

I think that was by Mark Twain (but someone with more experience might argue otherwise) :bom:

Never wrestle with pigs. You both get dirty but the pig likes it.
Courage, conviction, nerve, verve, dash, panache, guts, nuts, balls, gall, élan, stones, whatever. Get some and get skirted.

Don't try to teach a goat to sing. You will only waste your time, hurt your ears, and annoy the goat.
