Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people; the greatest minds aren't confined by a niche, being able to discuss topics across the spectrum from simple to complex.

True to this day and always has been true even before she said it.

It's interesting quote but I looked it up & there's no evidence ER ever said or wrote it.......some other philosophers in different words.....

Well, I did not research it, but I have often heard it said that it was her quote.

Doesn't matter to me . . . all that matters is the quote is true.

But sources matter too.......well at least to me....I'm not arguing btw....... Smile

So then maybe the quotes not true because great minds should be able to discuss all things?

It was not my post. I am speaking only to the words. And I'm not arguing either, Jessa. Smile

Your quote holds true even on this thread.

I know. What can you do? Have a good day!

You do the same!

I believe this to be true as well from the top down. However, from the bottom up, it is rare.
