At times you may sound a fool to some but maybe they don't get the whole picture.

no one listens when I talk anyway so why bother? |
|
|

and have people think you a fool or open your mouth and remove all doubt? |

Better to say something than to be just a face in the crowd.

Yes, but the legend of your silent wisdom will only last so long. No one ever quotes "'...' to the original author."

Sometimes. Depends on the circumstances. For example, I might care less about some random stranger thinks about me. However I would be more careful about what I say at work. Because I don't want to get fired.

I have always thought of it being the other way around. Being silent isn't an indication of your lack of knowledge. If you speak and your uncertain about your information then surely you would look foolish. If you know of what you speak then by all means speak.
