Mark Twain??? Enter the AD-FREE zone

There's a new quote showing after posting. It's the one about keeping your mouth shut and be thought a fool... I would have sworn that Abraham Lincoln was the one who said that.

Suffering from ads?

Well, quotes often get wrongly attributed to famous people (Churchill is the absolute master of this).
And why did you post this in the Civ2 forum?

Are you talkin' to me? Because that's where I saw the quote, of course.

Tired of ads?

No, it's attributed to Mark Twain. You should've asked in the Apolyton forum though.

Why MarkG chose this quote when he had a horde a civ-related quotes at his disposal is the real question.

I appreciate the irony of seeing the Twain quote only *after* one has posted a message. A true case of good advice offered too late. LOL!
