Quote by Elbert Hubbard

Little minds are interested in the extraordinary; great minds in the commonplace.

Little minds are interested in the extraordinary; great mind

Summary

This quote suggests that small-minded individuals are often driven by a fascination with unusual and extraordinary things. They are attracted to the rare, the extravagant, and the unusual. On the other hand, the quote argues that people with great minds are more interested in understanding and appreciating the ordinary aspects of life. They find value in the everyday occurrences, mundane situations, and simple aspects of existence. This implies that the mark of true intelligence lies in finding beauty and significance in the commonplace rather than being fixated on the extraordinary.
