and to speak agreeably to him with whom we
deal is more than to speak in good words,
or in good order.

?Thomas Hardy
The better part of valour is discretion.
?William Shakespeare
A closed mouth catches no flies.
?French Proverb
Never say "oops" in the operating room.
?Dr. Leo Troy

triumph as an early indiscretion.
