“Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people.“
-Misattributed to Eleanor Roosevelt, James H. Halsey and Hyman G. Rickover. Really, a socially-changed quote that sort-of began with Henry Thomas Buckle in 1901.

“We’ve got two ears and one mouth, so we should listen twice as hard.”

I heard this quote years back a that’s when I realized why I hate gossip so much! It’s incredibly small minded. Thanks for bringing it back to mind.
