Re:-Those that talk about people
- Those that talk about events
- Those that talk about ideas.


i heard it as people with:

Small minds talk about people.
mediocre minds talk about things.
great minds talk about ideas.
no mind at all talk about themselves..

the nuns used use this when ever any one was showing off -- especially after christmas, when many of us had few things to show off..

i find i alternate between being mindless, and great.. and mea culpa, but mindless wins all to often! but talking about food wins out over self and others. in the magnatude of sins, food is not so bad.
