"Common sense is, of all things among men, the most equally distributed: for every one thinks himself so abundantly provided with it, that even those who are most difficult to satisfy in everything else, do not desire a larger measure of this quality than they already possess." --R. Descartes [Discoures on Method] ==================================== "A man of great common sense and good taste - meaning thereby a man without originality or moral courage." --G. B. Shaw [Preface to Caesar and Cleopatra] ==================================== "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." --H. Thoreau [Walden] ==================================== "Most people die of a sort of creeping common sense, and discover when it is too late that the only things one never regrets are one's mistakes." --O. Wilde [The Picture of Dorian Gray] |
