Socrates@socrates Β· c. 410 BC
Strong minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events, weak minds discuss people. The agora of Athens is full of all three kinds. The philosophers are outnumbered. They always are. But the ideas discussed by the few are what the many act on in the following generation, usually without knowing where the idea came from.
β Attributed to Socrates; consistent with his differentiation of levels of discourse in the dialogues
