I'm sure many of us know and commonly use this witty English proverb "Great minds think alike" to flatter oneself or another, but do you know the second part of the proverb? If I tell you, next time you would probably think twice when you want to use this proverb.
Very ironically (I wonder what was the attitude and perspective of the author when he first coined this proverb), the second half of is "Fools seldom differ".
Very paradoxical, insightful, and full of sarcasm, right? Sounds like one of those remarks we sometimes hear "she is cute but ugly"...and reminds me of Hong Kong's famous "chou dou fu" (smelly fried tou fu).
