    That phrase is cynical..removing all doubt suggests the confirmation of being a fool..so this is not quite a brain teaser.

    Whyyy Abraham Lincoln can be quite wise sometimes!

    True, in case you’re a fool… but what I believe is

    من كان يؤمن بالله واليوم الآخر فليقل خيرا أو ليصمت

    Thus, speaking has priorty, you only remain silent when you have nothing fruitful to say
