Little minds are tamed and subdued by misfortune; but great minds rise above them.

Science had better not free the minds of men too much, before it has tamed their instincts.
Jean Rostand
Great minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events, small minds discuss people.
Hyman G. Rickover
Great minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events, small minds discuss people.
Eleanor Roosevelt
How can great minds be produced in a country where the test of a great mind is agreeing in the opinions of small minds?
John Stuart Mill
Our minds must have relaxation: rested, they will rise up better and keener. Just as we must not force fertile fields (for uninterrupted production will quickly exhaust them), so continual labor will break the power of our minds. They will recover their strength, however, after they have had a little freedom and relaxation.
Seneca the Younger
