"It is better to keep your mouth shut and be thought a fool, than to open it and remove all doubt"
Often attributed to Mark Twain but I read that might not be the case.

I have a bunch of favorites:

"This clock will never be stolen because too many employees are watching it".
"I'm very suspicious of sea gulls. They may look all happy and innocent up there, but I know their secretly planning to poop on my head."
"For sale: Parachute, once used, never opened, small stain."
"Don't argue with a fool. How will people know the difference?"
"Where there's a will, there's a huge argument between relatives"

"The equal rights of man, and the happiness of every individual, are now acknowledged to be the only legitimate objects of government. Modern times have the signal advantage, too, of having discovered the only device by which these rights can be secured, to wit: government by the people, acting not in person, but by representatives chosen by themselves, that is to say, by every man of ripe years and sane mind, who contributes either by his purse or person to the support of his country." --Thomas Jefferson to A. Coray, 1823. ME 15:482

I don't recall which golfer said this, but I thought it was clever.

He said "I'd like to thank you from the very heart of my bottom".
