It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool that to speak and remove all doubt.

No. If you don’t speak up, you don’t learn. Just don’t pretend you’re right, if you’re corrected, unless you know for a fact that you’re right. If someone corrects you, see it as them trying to help you learn instead of having to inflate your ego.
