The philosophy of one century is the common sense of the next.
Henry Ward Beecher
The sky was clear - remarkably clear - and the twinkling of all the stars seemed to be but throbs of one body, timed by a common pulse.
Thomas Hardy
I'm not a professional politician. I'm a professional problem solver, and I believe we should cut the salaries of senators and congressmen 10 percent until they balance the budget. I call that conservative common sense.
Herman Cain
Aggression is the most common behavior used by many organizations, a nearly invisible medium that influences all decisions and actions.
Margaret J. Wheatley
Common sense often makes good law.
William O. Douglas
Nothing is more common than for men to think that because they are familiar with words they understand the ideas they stand for.
John Henry Newman
Our observation of nature must be diligent, our reflection profound, and our experiments exact. We rarely see these three means combined; and for this reason, creative geniuses are not common.
Denis Diderot
There's a good deal in common between the mind's eye and the TV screen, and though the TV set has all too often been the boobtube, it could be, it can be, the box of dreams.
Ursula K. Le Guin
Names, once they are in common use, quickly become mere sounds, their etymology being buried, like so many of the earth's marvels, beneath the dust of habit.
Salman Rushdie
Once a disease has entered the body, all parts which are healthy must fight it: not one alone, but all. Because a disease might mean their common death. Nature knows this; and Nature attacks the disease with whatever help she can muster.
Paracelsus
Be able to identify the most common breeds of dogs and cats on sight.
Marilyn vos Savant
'Tis the common disease of all your musicians that they know no mean, to be entreated, either to begin or end.
Ben Jonson
The freethinking of one age is the common sense of the next.
Matthew Arnold
Love is not altogether a delirium, yet it has many points in common therewith.
Thomas Carlyle
The country needs and, unless I mistake its temper, the country demands bold, persistent, experimentation. It is common sense to take a method and try it, if it fails, admit it frankly and try another. But above all, try something.
Anthony Burgess
Stegosaurus was common only on well drained, dry soil.
Robert T. Bakker
The voice of the Lord is the voice of common sense, which is shared by all that is.
Samuel Butler
Academic and aristocratic people live in such an uncommon atmosphere that common sense can rarely reach them.
Samuel Butler
No mistake is more common and more fatuous than appealing to logic in cases which are beyond her jurisdiction.
Samuel Butler
She saw too that man has the power of exceeding himself, of becoming himself more entirely and profoundly than he is, truths which have only recently begun to be seen in Europe and seem even now too great for its common intelligence.
Sri Aurobindo
