Best Quotes about Common sense
Nothing ventured, nothing gained -- but if everything is ventured, and still nothing gained, give up and venture elsewhere.
Wastholm, Peter
If an idea's worth having once, it's worth having twice.
Tom Stoppard
All truth, in the long run, is only common sense clarified.
Huxley, Thomas H.
If a man has common sense, he has all the sense there is.
Rayburn, Sam
Common sense hides shame.
Proverb, Gaelic
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.
Roosevelt, Franklin D.
Common sense is only a modification of talent. Genius is an exaltation of it. The difference is, therefore, in degree, not nature.
Bulwer-Lytton, Edward G.
He who does not have common sense at age thirty will never have it.
Proverb
To see what is in front of one's nose requires a constant struggle.
Orwell, George
Common Sense is very uncommon.
Greeley, Horace

Whitehead, Alfred North
It makes sense that there is no sense without God.
Schaeffer, Edith

Howe, Edgar Watson
Common Sense is that which judges the things given to it by other senses.

Who is the most sensible person? The one who finds what is to their own advantage in all that happens to them.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

Amiel, Henri Frederic
Common sense is judgment without reflection, shared by an entire class, an entire nation, or the entire human race.
Vico, Giambattista
When two men share an umbrella, both of them get wet.
Isenberg, Michael
Science is a first-rate piece of furniture for a man's upper chamber, if it has common sense on the ground floor.
Holmes, Oliver Wendell

Maugham, W. Somerset
[Common sense] is the best sense I know of.
Lord Chesterfield
Common sense is what tells us the Earth is flat and the Sun goes around it.
Everybody gets so much common information all day long that they lose their common sense.
Stein, Gertrude
That rarest gift to Beauty, Common Sense!
Meredith, George
Common sense is the genius of humanity.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
The best prophet is common sense, our native wit.
Euripides
There is nothing a man of good sense dreads in a wife so much as her having more sense than himself.
Fielding, Henry
Simple solutions seldom are. It takes a very unusual mind to undertake analysis of the obvious.
Whitehead, Alfred North
Common sense is genius dressed in its working clothes.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
In the war for individual rights, common sense becomes the first and major casualty.
My greatest strength is... common sense. I'm really a standard brand--like Campbell's tomato soup or Baker's chocolate.
Hepburn, Katharine
The two World Wars came in part, like much modern literature and art, because men, whose nature is to tire of everything in turn, tired of common sense and civilization.
Lucan, F. L.
Common-sense is part of the home-made ideology of those who have been deprived of fundamental learning, of those who have been kept ignorant. This ideology is compounded from different sources: items that have survived from religion, items of empirical knowledge, items of protective skepticism, items culled for comfort from the superficial learning that is supplied. But the point is that common-sense can never teach itself, can never advance beyond its own limits, for as soon as the lack of fundamental learning has been made good, all items become questionable and the whole function of common-sense is destroyed. Common-sense can only exist as a category insofar as it can be distinguished from the spirit of inquiry, from philosophy.
Berger, John
A person must have a certain amount of intelligent ignorance to get anywhere.
Kettering, Charles F.
The voice of the Lord is the voice of common sense, which is shared by all that is.
Butler, Samuel
Nothing astonishes people so much as common sense and plain dealing.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
The last time anybody made a list of the top hundred character attributes of New Yorkers, common sense snuck in at number 79.
Douglas Adams
Common Sense is in medicine the master workman.
Latham, Peter
When you have got an elephant by the hind legs and he is trying to run away, it's best to let him run.
Lincoln, Abraham
Why level downward to our dullest perception always, and praise that as common sense? The commonest sense is the sense of men asleep, which they express by snoring.
Thoreau, Henry David
Science is nothing, but trained and organized common sense.
Huxley, Thomas H.
Good sense is the master of human life.
The freethinking of one age is the common sense of the next.
Matthew Arnold
What a grand thing it is to be clever and have common sense.
Terence
Common sense always speaks too late. Common sense is the guy who tells you ought to have had your brakes relined last week before you smashed a front end this week. Common sense is the Monday morning quarterback who could have won the ball game if he had been on the team. But he never is. He's high up in the stands with a flask on his hip. Common sense is the little man in a gray suit who never makes a mistake in addition. But it's always somebody else's money he's adding up.
Chandler, Raymond
Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age eighteen.
Albert Einstein
He was one of those men who possess almost every gift, except the gift of the power to use them.
Kingsley, Charles
Common sense is the measure of the possible; it is composed of experience and prevision; it is calculation applied to life.
Amiel, Henri Frederic
