Why should poetry have to make sense?
Charlie Chaplin
Friendless. Having no favors to bestow. Destitute of fortune. Addicted to utterance of truth and common sense.
Ambrose Bierce
After all, science is essentially international, and it is only through lack of the historical sense that national qualities have been attributed to it.
Marie Curie
Common sense is the most fairly distributed thing in the world, for each one thinks he is so well-endowed with it that even those who are hardest to satisfy in all other matters are not in the habit of desiring more of it than they already have.
Rene Descartes
Nothing is more fairly distributed than common sense: no one thinks he needs more of it than he already has.
Rene Descartes
Any man who has had the job I've had and didn't have a sense of humor wouldn't still be here.
Harry S. Truman
A lie would have no sense unless the truth were felt dangerous.
Alfred Adler
In a certain sense the Good is comfortless.
Franz Kafka
Since there will be no one left to talk peace after the next war, it makes good sense to break with tradition and hold the peace conference first.
William Glasser
A person without a sense of humor is like a wagon without springs. It's jolted by every pebble on the road.
Henry Ward Beecher
Common sense is calculation applied to life.
Henri Frederic Amiel
Common sense is the measure of the possible; it is composed of experience and prevision; it is calculation applied to life.
Henri Frederic Amiel
Common sense and a sense of humor are the same thing, moving at different speeds. A sense of humor is just common sense, dancing.
William James
If you only believe that you're an artist when you have a big advance in your pocket and a single coming out, I would say that's quite soulless. You have to have a sense of your own greatness and your own ability from a very deep place inside you. I am the one with the litmus test in my hands of what people need to hear next.
Lady Gaga
In a sense I portray myself in a very androgynous way, and I love androgyny.
Lady Gaga
Enlightened people seldom or never possess a sense of responsibility.
George Orwell
The aim of life is appreciation; there is no sense in not appreciating things; and there is no sense in having more of them if you have less appreciation of them.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
The ordinary scientific man is strictly a sentimentalist. He is a sentimentalist in this essential sense, that he is soaked and swept away by mere associations.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Making duplicate copies and computer printouts of things no one wanted even one of in the first place is giving America a new sense of purpose.
Andy Rooney
One of the signs of passing youth is the birth of a sense of fellowship with other human beings as we take our place among them.
Virginia Woolf
