“Citizens have the natural right and the common sense duty to protect themselves, their families, their communities, and their property...guns are the equalizing tools of self-protection, utopian lamentations notwithstanding.”
Edgar A. Suter
“Where is the ethic, the justification, the respect for the most basic human rights and the common sense of such policies?”
Fidel Castro
“The art of governing consists simply of being honest, exercising common sense, following principle, and doing what is right and just.”
Thomas Jefferson
“It is inaccurate to say that I hate everything. I am strongly in favor of common sense, common honesty, and common decency. This makes me forever ineligible for public office.”
Henry Louis Mencken
“The right merchant is one who has the just average of faculties we call common sense; a man of a strong affinity for facts, who makes up his decision on what he has seen. He is thoroughly persuaded of the truths of arithmetic. There is always a reason, in the man, for his good or bad fortune in making money. Men talk as if there were some magic about this. He knows that all goes on the old road, pound for pound, cent for cent / for every effect a perfect cause / and that good luck is another name for tenacity of purpose.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
“From a common-sense standpoint, you're probably on the right road. The problem is, you're opening a can of worms you might not be able to shut. That might cause more problems than it solves.”
Kelvin Sampson
“It was and remains the right thing to do. It's a common sense approach to protecting families and children.”
Jason Young
