Is it true that great minds think alike?

Question

But what about the saying that no two persons are alike?

Answer 1

no,no one thinks like me! lol

Answer 2

NO,

not in terms of good and evil.

There are brilliant minds of evil people as well as good people.

Answer 3

Whatever they are thinking, it's still coming from two different persons.

Answer 4

If two 'great minds' accept the same system of logic and the same premises, than it is quite likely that they will come up with the similar conclusions. However, as that isn't very likely often 'great minds' think quite different.

However, if you also take into account the fact that all humans think in the similar enough patterns when compared to other sentient beings, and we only know of human 'great minds' we can actually say that they do think alike, but so do not-so-great human minds in this approach think alike.

Answer 5

They only speak the TRUTH. (if you know what i mean-we are alike)

Answer 6

What is true is that friends often are thinking of the same thing at the same time and in doing so, the expression "it's great that we are thinking alike" came about.  Over the years, it has evolved to GMTA - great minds think alike.  It does sound better, doesn't it?  This is similar to the expression - "we're on the same page."

"No two persons are alike."  I would tend to agree with that.  While we may be well attuned to a particular someone in most aspects (likes and dislikes), there will still be some dissimilarities.  I have long observed that 100 people would react to the same situation in 100 different ways.   For one thing, reaction time varies considerably.

Answer 7

In one way or another, the great minds DO THINK ALIKE.  And I am so proud of them if they have GREAT CONSTRUCTIVE MIND.  For in this manner, they truly use "the flame of love", the gift from GOD.  

GOD BLESS ALL OF US.

Answer 8

great minds think alike --somehow.

BUT not exactly the same as the other party.

Answer 9

"No two persons are alike" is a truth.

"Great minds think alike" is also a truth.

They do not contradict each other.

The first deals with the whole personality plus his genetic composition, being unique from all others.   The second only covers the level of intelligence of some people born with genius, and limited to "how" they think,  not "what" they think or "why" they are thinking such things.
