There is this quote:
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt.
— ABRAHAM LINCOLN.(It is still questionable who has said this first. Some people say this quote belongs to Mark Twain, some say other various sources)
I just not quite agree with the quote. It is for the people who may not fully understand the situation, thus the don't know what they're talking about. However, keeping silent means that the doubt is still there anyway.
Well. "Remaining silent simply allows one to avoid the fate of being thought a fool or stupid."(http://quoteinvestigator.com/2010/05/17/remain-silent/)
Yes. Being silent doesn't change a thing. Okay, silence is better than talking foolish, I know. But speaking up your mind in a thoughtful way is waaayyy better than being silent, right? Especially when you are oppressed. Many tragedy happens not only because evil people do bad things, but also because good people just stay silent.

The ultimate tragedy is not the oppression and cruelty by the bad people but the silence over that by the good people.
