Average Ideas People

More From Eleanor Roosevelt

When you live in a poor neighborhood, you are living in an area where you have poor schools. when you have poor schools, you have poor teachers. when you have poor teachers, you get a poor education. when you get a poor education, you can only work in a poor-paying job. and that poor-paying job enables you to live again in a poor neighborhood. so, it's a very vicious cycle.

There are more ideas on earth than intellectuals imagine. and these ideas are more active, stronger, more resistant, more passionate than "politicians" think. we have to be there at the birth of ideas, the bursting outward of their force: not in books expressing them, but in events manifesting this force, in struggles carried on around ideas, for or against them. ideas do not rule the world. but it is because the world has ideas (and because it constantly produces them) that it is not passively ruled by those who are its leaders or those who would like to teach it, once and for all, what it must think.
Struggle Book Thinking
Setting aside the vast herd which shows no definable character at all, it seems to me that the minority distinguished by what is commonly regarded as an excess of sin is very much more admirable than the minority distinguished by an excess of virtue. my experience of the world has taught me that the average wine-bibbler is a far better fellow than the average prohibitionist, and that the average rogue is better company than the average poor drudge, and that the worst white-slave trader of my acquaintance is a decenter man than the best vice crusader.

Great minds discuss ideas. average minds discuss events. small minds discuss other people. life's too short to worry about what other people do or don't do. tend your own backyard, not theirs, because yours is the one you have to live in.
Average Ideas People
Little minds think and talk about people. average minds think and talk about things and actions. great minds think and talk about ideas.
Thinking Average Ideas
Making an average pitch to average people, or having an average gala for average people isn't going to scale anymore. you've got to find the people who care. those people are worth all of your time.

Honestly, orthodoxy concerns me about as much as it concerns your average jackrabbit. i only follow rules that take me where i want to go. if there aren't any rules, i make up my own and follow them strictly.

The average bloke . . . hates and fears all freedom, not only for others but for himself, and stamps it out wherever possible.
Hate Average Stamps
Given, a man with moderate intellect, a moral standard not higher than the average, some rhetorical affluence and a great glibness of speech, what is the career in which, without the aid of birth or money, he may most easily attain power and reputation in english society? where is that goshen of mediocrity in which a smattering of science and learning will pass for profound instruction, where platitudes will be accepted as wisdom, bigoted narrowness as holy zeal, unctuous egoism as god-given piety?
