Allow me to "Bassify You"!
The following versions and attributions have been posted on alt.quotations
but no sources.

It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to open your
mouth and remove all doubt . -- George Eliot

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and
remove all doubt.-- Abraham Lincoln (also attr. Confucius)

It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a
fool than to open it and remove all doubt.-- Mark Twain (1835-1910)

A Yiddish proverb has been proposed as the origin, but if so it is
preceded by,

Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that
shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding. -Proverbs 17:28.
