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.”
“Nowadays most people die of a sort of creeping common sense, and discover when it is too late that the only things one never regrets are one’s mistakes.”
“Common sense is the most widely shared commodity in the world, for every man is convinced that he is well supplied with it.”
― René Descartes
“A long habit of not thinking a thing wrong, gives it a superficial appearance of being right, and raises at first a formidable outcry in defense of custom. But the tumult soon subsides. Time makes more converts than reason.”
“Many who are self-taught far excel the doctors, masters, and bachelors of the most renowned universities.”
― Ludwig von Mises
“Common sense ain’t common.”
― Will Rogers
“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
