“Never Argue With a Fool, Onlookers May Not Be Able To Tell the Difference” - Who Said the Quote?
Updated April 21, 2024
Has anyone ever advised that you should “never argue with a fool, onlookers may not be able to tell the difference”?
Who said this quote, and what does it mean?
The short answer is: this saying is often attributed to Mark Twain. At the same time, there’s quite a bit of debate over whether or not he ever spoke or wrote these words.
As far as the meaning goes, the general gist is that it’s a bad idea to waste your time bickering with someone that is irrational or unreasonable, as it brings you down to their level and threatens to make you appear foolish as well.
