It is better to be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt. -Winston Churchill

Usually Abraham Lincoln is credited with the quote, "It is better to remain silent and thought a fool than to speak up and remove all doubt." I've seen it attributed to Mark Twain and even George Bernard Shaw, but never Churchill. It seems likely all of these men said it at one time or another, since it sounds like something any of them would say. Lincoln was probably the first.
