To Quote Eleanor Roosevelt

Something lighter.

I had read one quote long time back and was impressed. I did not remember the exact words and whom it was from. Since a few months I was trying to remember it and finally I got it today.

"Great minds discuss ideas; Average minds discuss events; Small minds discuss people. "
Eleanor Roosevelt
US diplomat & reformer (1884 - 1962)

Said with such brevity, it contains the guiding philosophy I try to have in my life. Of late I have observed that I have started to move from the first and second category to the third category of minds at workplace (though I still stick to first and second category in parallel).
So will be pasting a printout of this next to my workstation and hope it helps.

There are more quotations by Roosevelt many of which have been a part of our lives since yore and I never realised it. Some very inspiring.

Please share your favorite quotes, if possible. Its always a pleasure to read new ones.
