Thomas Dewar, 1st Baron Dewar - Minds are like parachutes - they only function when open.

Minds are like parachutes - they only function when open.

source: Quoted in Evan Esar, The Dictionary of Humorous Quotations (1949). Usually attributed to Dewar, but it should be noted that the line "mind like parachute - only function when open!" appears in the 1936 film Charlie Chan at the Circus (screenplay by Robert Ellis and Helen Logan).
