Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age eighteen.

Common sense invents and constructs no less than its own field than science does in its domain. It is, however, in the nature of common sense not to be aware of this situation.

The three great essentials to achieve anything worth while are: Hard work, Stick-to-itiveness, and Common sense.

Don't leave hold of your common sense. Think about what you're doing and how the technology can enhance it. Don't think about technology first.

Common sense often makes good law.

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.

Self-sacrifice which denies common sense is not a virtue. It's a spiritual dissipation.

Conscience that isn't hitched up to common sense is a mighty dangerous thing.

If we seek the pleasures of love, passion should be occasional, and common sense continual.

If you have an ounce of common sense and one good friend you don't need an analyst.

I have seen that the American Dream is a reality - and I would love to feel the British Dream is also a reality. To enable that, we have to bring back some common sense and encourage family values, a proper sense of justice and make people believe they have a decent chance to build a business or career for themselves. I see this moment as a fantastic opportunity to restore this, because I believe Britain Has Talent.

Common sense in an uncommon degree is what the world calls wisdom.

Republicans should simply focus on first principles and give the American people what they want - an honest party dedicated to common sense, fiscal responsibility and limited government. If we govern to save the country, we'll do well as a party.

The new rage is to say that the government is the cause of all our problems, and if only we had no government, we'd have no problems. I can tell you, that contradicts evidence, history, and common sense.

We may always depend on it that algebra, which cannot be translated into good English and sound common sense, is bad algebra.
