Text Quotes
Rapport is the ability to enter someone else’s world, to make him feel that you understand him, that you have a strong common bond  (Common Quotes) Common sense is an instinct given to man and enough of it is genius. Smartness is measured by the level of common sense one has, not by how much educated or knowledgeable he is  (Common Quotes) Common sense is the best distributed thing in the world, for we all think we possess a good share of it  (Common Quotes) Common sense meant once something very different from that plain wisdom, the common heritage of men, which we now call by this name  (Common Quotes) To complain of the age we live in, to murmur at the present possessors of power, to lament the past, to conceive extravagant hopes of the future, are the common dispositions of the greatest part of mankind  (Common Quotes) The only thing that will redeem mankind is cooperation... it is common to wish well to oneself, but in our technically unified world, wishing well to oneself is sure to be futile unless it is combined with wishing well to others  (Common Quotes) Fine sense and exalted sense are not half so useful as common sense.

Magic is a method of talking to the universe in words that it cannot ignore. The two are rarely compatible  (Common Quotes) We are learning that a standard of social ethics is not attained by travelling a sequestered byway, but by mixing on the thronged and common road where all must turn out for one another, and at least see the size of one another’s burdens  (Common Quotes) Two things people throughout history have had in common are hatred and humour. I am proud that I have been able to use humour to lessen people’s hatred  (Common Quotes) It is quite too common a practice, both in readers and the more superficial class of critics, to judge a book by what it is not, a matter much easier to determine than what it is  (Common Quotes) A common civility to an impertinent fellow, often draws upon one a great many unforeseen troubles; and if one doth not take particular care, will be interpreted by him as an overture of friendship and intimacy  (Common Quotes) It is men of desperate fortunes on the one hand, or of aspiring, superior fortunes on the other, who go abroad upon adventures, to rise by enterprise, and make themselves famous in undertakings of a nature out of the common road  (Common Quotes) All humanity could share a common insanity and be immersed in a common illusion while living in a common chaos. That can’t be disproved, but we have no choice but to follow our senses  (Common Quotes) One of the key insights of the systems approach has been the realization that the network is a pattern that is common to all life. Wherever we see life, we see networks  (Common Quotes) Common sense tells us that the world is flat, that the sun goes around the earth, that heavy bodies always fall faster than light bodies, that boats made of iron will sink  (Common Quotes) Famous people don’t want to be told that you have a quality in common with them.

This culture is like a dead language that no longer has anything in common with the language of the street. It is increasingly alien to our lives  (Common Quotes) A common objection to inherited wealth is that it stifles the urge to work. I have not generally observed this to be true  (Common Quotes) If we give all of the people who filed incorrect tax returns the benefit of the doubt and assume that every single one of them simply made an honest mistake, then doesn’t common sense tell us that maybe the tax code is just a little too complex?  (Common Quotes)
