In my email signature I have a quote that rung true to me, and it also strikes a chord with many people. The quote is :

“Great minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events, small minds discuss people”
– Admiral Hyman G. Rickover

People feel compelled to add to it, and I thought I’d pass on their additions. The best so far?

Burt Rutan added : “Mindless people discuss the weather”
David Rajan added : “The mindless watch TV”
