To be uncertain is uncomfortable

...but to be certain is ridiculous. Graffiti behind BurgerTex on Guadalupe.

To be uncertain is uncomfortable but to be certain is ridiculous

It's getting to where something like this, which is neither a personal tag nor (as far as I know) part of an organized guerrilla art campaign like the recent wheatpasted food, is rare enough to be noteworthy.

Google turns up lots of pages calling this saying a "Chinese proverb" and a few attributing it to Goethe. I'm more inclined to believe the latter but I haven't been able to find it in German. Anybody know for sure?
