If In Doubt

The expression is "when in doubt"... Here are some of the expressions that are paired with this: When in doubt wear red. ~ Bill Blass When in doubt, don't. ~ Benjamin Franklin Wise men, when in doubt whether to speak or to keep quiet, give themselves the benefit of the doubt, and remain silent. ~ Napoleon Hill A conservative is someone who makes no changes and consults his grandmother when in doubt. ~ Woodrow Wilson When in doubt tell the truth. ~ Mark Twain These are from Brainyquotes, you have to go over there to see them all - they aren't easily copied.  When I look through quotes, I am amazed at the diverse range of people being quoted.  From Benjamin Franklin and Mark Twain to current comedians to names I don't recognize.  So I chose one randomly - Ken Thompson. Ken Thompson - When in doubt, use force.   Ken Thompson is a computer scientist who worked on the Unix operating system.  Here is my favourite: Ken Thompson was once asked what he would do differently if he were redesigning the UNIX system. His reply: "I'd spell creat with an e."
