John DrydenBut far more numerous was the herd of such, Who think too little, and who talk too much.
About This Quote
This quote has a lot about it. First, it talks about how small minded people are. They are so full of themselves that they are not able to see the big picture. For example, “I have a great idea for this project,” is the kind of thing that would only be considered by someone who is too full of themselves to see the bigger picture.
