The Celtic, Galatian, or Gallic nation received from the common mother endowments different from those of its Italian, Germanic, and Hellenic sisters. Theodor Mommsen

Some of us learned in a school of philosophy which taught that all was for the common good and nothing for oneself and have never, in any case, regarded the pursuit of happiness as anything other than an aberration of the human spirit.

John Grierson

Success is more a function of consistent common sense than it is of genius.

An Wang

But when, in the first setting out, he takes it for granted without proof, that distinctions found in the structure of all languages, have no foundation in nature; this surely is too fastidious a way of treating the common sense of mankind.

Friedrich List

What I've learned - after working for, I guess, some time now - is when you're approaching a relationship like that, like, any working relationship, it's good to be open. To know that someone might have a different way of doing things and listen to them. And hopefully, you come to a common understanding.

Michael Pitt

Soap and water and common sense are the best disinfectants.

Richard M. Nixon

Whatsoever things common to man, that man has done, man can do.

Marcus Garvey

Certainly one of the more common experiences in the jazz field is discovering someone new. Improvising musicians are capable of being musical travelers, voyagers. We want to join in on whatever we hear. There is a freedom to wander the musical landscape.

Angela Merkel

Common sense is the knack of seeing things as they are, and doing things as they ought to be done.

We're going to keep them - keep you safe from them.

Lindsey Graham
