"The third-rate mind is only happy when it is thinking with the majority. The second-rate mind is only happy when it is thinking with the minority. The first-rate mind is only happy when it is thinking." -- A. A. Milne
I like what he says about the third-rate mind and the second-rate mind. Perhaps I'm not subtle enough, but I don't understand the point about the first-rate mind. It would make more sense to me if it said something like, "The first-rate mind is only happy when it is thinking independently." Or maybe "The first-rate mind is happy whenever it is thinking."
