Have seen this so many times, and just realized for the first time it's self-referential. Clever!
Hey, good point! It's like Groucho Marx's "I'd never join a club that would have me as a member."
How about: Wealthy businessmen talk about people. Average businessmen talk about things. Poor businessmen talk about ideas.
I want to clarify that half my point is that this crap is easy to write.
Great minds discuss ideas; Average minds discuss events; Small minds discuss people.
- Eleanor Roosevelt
The version I know is:
Great people talk about ideas, average people talk about things, and small people talk about wine. --- Fran Lebowitz
