“If a man has common sense, he has all the sense there is.”
Sam Rayburn
“He's a man of great common sense and good taste, meaning thereby a man without originality or moral courage”
George Bernard Shaw
“A man of great common sense and good taste is a man without originality or moral courage.”
“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
“Some people call me a weirdo or worse. But I think I'm a man of common sense and a mild-mannered one at that,”
Junichiro Koizumi
“Judge a man by his questions rather than by his answers”
Voltaire
