Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
As great minds have the faculty of saying a great deal in a few words, so lesser minds have a talent of talking much, and saying nothing.
Small minds are concerned with the extraordinary, great minds with the ordinary.
Great minds are related to the brief span of time during which they live as great buildings are to a little square in which they stand: you cannot see them in all their magnitude because you are standing too close to them.
I do not speak the minds of others except to speak my own mind better.
I'm not a good small talker. I'm not into small talk, frankly.
I hate having to do small talk. I'd rather talk about deep subjects. I'd rather talk about meditation, or the world, or the trees or animals, than small, inane, you know, banter.
It is a narrow mind which cannot look at a subject from various points of view.
I see people in terms of dialogue and I believe that people are their talk.
Little minds are interested in the extraordinary; great minds in the commonplace.
Great people talk about ideas, average people talk about things, and small people talk about wine.
