Common Sense Quote #1

Stay in the boat, I told myself, watching them walk up to the pavilion. I'll just stay in the boat. I won't go anywhere near that creature.
But in spite of that wise warning, I climbed out of the boat.
Fine, stretch your legs, I told myself. Just don't follow them.
But of course, I followed them.
You are without question your own worst enemy, I scolded myself, even as I tiptoed after them.
Merrie Haskell

Common Sense Quote #2

Al contrario de lo que piensa el sentido común, las cosas de la voluntad nunca son simples, lo que es simple es la indecisión, la incertidumbre, la irresolución...

Alexia wondered what it said about her character that Ivy had genuinely believed she would intentionally go climbing about the side of a floating dirigible.
Gail Carriger
Common Sense Quote #15

All of science is largely formalized common sense.
Nancy Pearcey
Common Sense Quote #16

All Religions have this in common, that they are an outrage to common sense for they are pieced together out of a variety of elements, some of which seem so unworthy, sordid and at odds with man’s reason, that any strong and vigorous intelligence laughs at them... The human intellect is only capable of tackling mediocre subjects: it disdains petty subjects, and is startled by large ones. There is no reason to be surprised if it finds any religion hard to accept at first, for all are deficient in the mediocre and the commonplace, nor that it should require skill to induce belief. For the strong intellect laughs at religion, while the weak and superstitious mind marvels at it but is easily scandalized by it.
Pierre Charron
Common Sense Quote #17

All things remarkable are surprisingly simple; albeit difficult to find.
Criss Jami
Common Sense Quote #18

All's well that ends well.'
'Assuming there's an end somewhere,' Aomame said.
Tamaru formed some short creases near his mouth that were faintly reminiscent of a smile. 'There has to be an end somewhere. It's just that nothing's labeled This is the end. Is the top rung of a ladder labeled This is the last rung. Please don't step higher than this'?
Aomame shook her head.
'It's the same thing,' Tamaru said.
Aomame said, 'If you use common sense and keep your eyes open, it becomes clear enough where the end is.'
Tamaru nodded. 'And even if it doesn't' -- he made a falling gesture with his finger -- 'the end is right there.
Haruki Murakami
Common Sense Quote #19

An event in the present evokes past sensations. But science couldn't explain how a foolish heart had the power to overrule common sense.
Susan Wiggs
Common Sense Quote #20

An interesting contrast between the geology of the present day and that of half a century ago, is presented by the complete emancipation of the modern geologist from the controlling and perverting influence of theology, all-powerful at the earlier date. As the geologist of my young days wrote, he had one eye upon fact, and the other on Genesis; at present, he wisely keeps both eyes on fact, and ignores the pentateuchal mythology altogether. The publication of the 'Principles of Geology' brought upon its illustrious author a period of social ostracism; the instruction given to our children is based upon those principles. Whewell had the courage to attack Lyell's fundamental assumption (which surely is a dictate of common sense) that we ought to exhaust known causes before seeking for the explanation of geological phenomena in causes of which we have no experience.
Thomas Henry Huxley
Common Sense Quote #21

Angry obsessive thoughts about another weaken your state of mind and well being. If you must have revenge, then take it by choosing to be happy and let them go forever.
Gary Hopkins
Common Sense Quote #22

Apparently, for some reason known only to themselves, these people... have chosen to cling to hydrocarbon-fueled power generation well past the point at which they could have replaced it with nuclear generation.
David Weber
Common Sense Quote #23

At noon I observed a bevy of nude young native women bathing in the sea, and I went and sat down on there clothes to keep them from being stolen.
Mark Twain
Common Sense Quote #24

Beauty is intellectually confusing; it sabotages common sense.
P.D. James
Common Sense Quote #25

Because others have let us down, it is now our duty to face the hard truths and do the right thing--no matter the personal cost.
Glenn Beck
Common Sense Quote #26

Before you go out and occupy Wall Street, occupy your own brain!
Tai Lopez
Common Sense Quote #27

Behind every beautiful thing, there's some kind of pain.
Bob Dylan
Common Sense Quote #28

Being genius does not necessarily mean knowing it all or having the highest academic qualification; but a persons ability to apply wisdom and common sense to common things in a distinctive manner and courageously, exhibiting the latent deft to the admiration of the masses
Ernest Agyemang Yeboah
Common Sense Quote #29

Being surrounded with every conceivable kind of revolt from infancy, Gabriel had to revolt into something, so he revolted into the only thing left — sanity. But there was just enough in him of the blood of these fanatics to make even his protest for common sense a little too fierce to be sensible.
G.K. Chesterton
Common Sense Quote #30

Believe in what makes you Healthy, because everything else is just garbage.
