Never seem more learned than the people you are with.
Wear your learning, like your watch, in a private pocket,
and do not pull it out and strike it merely to show you
have one. If you are asked what o'clock it is, tell it, but
do not proclaim it hourly and unasked, like the watchman.
-- Lord Philip Chesterfield (1694-1773), English
   politician and writer

        alt:
        Do not pull it out to count the hours,
        but give the time when you are asked.

All religions issue Bibles against Satan,
and say the most injurious things against him,
but we never hear his side.
-- Mark Twain
