A Quote by Eleanor Roosevelt

Terrific minds focus on tips; average minds go over activities; little minds talk about people today. — © Eleanor Roosevelt
Terrific minds focus on tips; average minds go over activities; little minds talk about people today.
Little minds think and talk about people. Average minds think and talk about things and actions. Great minds think and talk about ideas.
Poor minds talk about people average minds talk about events great minds talk about ideas
Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss other people. Life's too short to worry about what other people do or don't do. Tend your own backyard, not theirs, because yours is the one you have to live in.
Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people.
If thinking minds, questioning minds, doubting minds, are talking about faith, their whole life will become fake.
Strong minds talk about ideas; weak minds talk about people.
If the world is saved, it will not be by old minds with new programs but by new minds with no programs at all. Why not new minds with new programs? Because where you find people working on programs, you don't find new minds, you find old ones. Programs and old minds go together like buggy whips and buggies.
It's hard to win people's minds over. The only way to change their minds is to perform.
Men's minds must be free, and that means the minds of all, not the minds of a select few.
We're not aware of changing our minds even when we do change our minds. And most people, after they change their minds, reconstruct their past opinion - they believe they always thought that.
Little minds are tamed and subdued by misfortune; but great minds rise above them.
Little minds are interested in the extraordinary; great minds in the commonplace.
How can great minds be produced in a country where the test of great minds is agreeing in the opinion of small minds?
The truth seems to be that propaganda on its own cannot force its way into unwilling minds; neither can it inculcate something wholly new; nor can it keep people persuaded once they have ceased to believe. It penetrates into minds already open, and rather than instill opinion it articulates and justifies opinions already present in the minds of its recipients.
THE TEACHER AS A NECESSARY EVIL. Let us have as few people as possible between the productive minds and the hungry and recipient minds! The middlemen almost unconsciously adulterate the food which they supply. It is because of teachers that so little is learned, and that so badly.
Our focus on melanin and people's skins - can't we talk about the diversity of ideology? Can't we look at people for their minds and what they can contribute? And I'd like to see us go more toward a respect for people's ability to contribute, and I actually want to get to a society where we disregard race.
