This seems to be attributed to both Abraham Lincoln and Mark Twain,
depending on the source.
Quote Investigator: There is a biblical proverb that expresses a
similar idea, namely Proverbs 17:28. Here is the New International
Version followed by the King James Version of this verse: [1]
Even a fool is thought wise if he keeps silent, and discerning if
he holds his tongue.
Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he
that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding.
