“Common sense used to be a great trait for one to have, and hence the name, common it was plentiful. Today's it's as rare as the Dodo bird.”

“Common sense is as rare as genius.”

“There's a huge battle going on today with so-called intelligentsia vs common sense, and common sense is losing.”

“Marrying a woman for her beauty makes no more sense than eating a bird for its singing. But it's a common mistake nonetheless.”

“People think common sense is common - but it's not.”

“One of the greatest challenges today is the relationship between unity and diversity. If we don't have a sense of what holds us together, what unites us - our common humanity and a common earth, a common creation, a common cosmos - then our differences, our diversity, will become cause for division and conflict, one seeking to dominate the other. But if we have a sense of what unites us, then our differences, our diversity, will enrich our lives.-Bishop Mark S Hanson”
