Common Sense
“Because you can’t argue with all the fools in the world. It’s easier to let them have their way, then trick them when they’re not paying attention.”
“Common sense in an uncommon degree is what the world calls wisdom.”
― Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray
― René Descartes
― Thomas Paine, Common Sense
― Ludwig von Mises
“Common sense will nearly always stand you in better stead than a slavish adherence to the conventions.”
― M.M. Kaye, Shadow of the Moon
“The cradle rocks above an abyss, and common sense tells us that our existence is but a brief crack of light between two eternities of darkness.”
― Vladimir Nabokov
“Better to shun the bait than struggle in the snare.”
― William Blake
Hillary Clinton’s trusted advisor says…
“Military men are just dumb, stupid animals to be used as pawns in foreign policy.”
― Henry Kissinger
“Human misery must somewhere have a stop; there is no wind that always blows a storm; great good fortune comes to failure in the end. All is change; all yields its place and goes; to persevere, trusting in what hopes he has, is courage in a man. The coward despairs.”
― Euripides
