discretion is the better part of valor 

A phrase meaning to not let courage outweigh good judgment; is the potential outcome worth the risk?
Kid (10 years old): I really wanted to punch that boy for what he said dad, but I thought his parents would probably sue us, so I didn’t.
Dad: Wise decision, son. Discretion is the better part of valor. I’m proud of you. What’d the kid say that made you so mad?
Kid: He said mom was a whore.
Dad: What?!... Why didn’t you beat the shit outta that kid!!

Description 

On YouTube, it's something that we use to give information about our videos that make anything that isn't too self explanatory a whole lot more clear, or to present the video as more interesting. Countless YouTubers ignore these often resulting in the posting of a stupid comment or question that's unnecessary because it was likely to be answered in the *drumroll please...* description!

These comments tend to become so sad that users need to include 20 FAQs in their descriptions because the idiots won't shut the hell up.

Read the comments to any video posted by GuitarHeroPhenom and you'll understand. They're also enough to keep someone entertained for a while, as the stupidity is legendary.
A good description:
This is a video of my transcription of awesome music from Zelda on Finale NotePad, enjoy. btw, click here to see the making of this for proof that it's legit.

doorman discretion 

That immense amount of power conferred upon one without commensurate knowledge, experience, or understanding, such that, in effect, the village idiot ends up holding the keys to the U.S. nuclear arsenal, or worse, won't let you into your own office building so you can finish working on that one document that will define the rest of your career and is due tomorrow morning.
I apologize for not filing that brief brief with the supreme court on time, but I was the victim of doorman discretion.
