Fiction has to make sense.[Tom Clancy] Quote:Gods are fragile things; they may be killed by a whiff of science or a dose of common sense.[Chapman Cohen] Quote:Nothing can be more contrary to religion and the clergy than reason and common sense.[Francois Marie Arouet (Voltaire)] Quote:A silly idea is current that good people do not know what temptation means. This is an obvious lie. Only those who try to resist temptation know how strong it is... A man who gives in to temptation after five minutes simply does not know what it would have been like an hour later. That is why bad people, in one sense, know very little about badness. They have lived a sheltered life by always giving in.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:A sense of humor is part of the art of leadership, of getting along with people, of getting things done.[Dwight Eisenhower] Quote:Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies in the final sense a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed.[Dwight Eisenhower] Quote:I feel impelled to speak today in a language that in a sense is new-one which I, who have spent so much of my life in the military profession, would have preferred never to use. That new language is the language of atomic warfare.[Dwight Eisenhower] Quote:Politics is a profession; a serious, complicated and, in its true sense, a noble one.[Dwight Eisenhower] Quote:It's a phonetic language. Anything can make sense. How do you think Dr. Seuss wrote any of that sh*t?[Matthew J. Clayfield] Quote:'It will obliterate your senses!' reports David Gillin, who obviously writes autobiographically.[Roger Ebert] Quote:Humor is perhaps a sense of intellectual perspective: an awareness that some things are really important, others not; and that the two kinds are most oddly jumbled in everyday affairs.[Christopher Morley] Quote:A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness.[Robert Frost] Quote:The only flaw in the Hinckley trial is that it left a lot of people with the impression that psychiatrists are just a bunch of bearded voodoo doctors who espouse confusing and wildly contradictory theories that have nothing to do with common sense. This is totally unfair. Many psychiatrists are clean-shaven.[Dave Barry] Quote:There is hope for the future because God has a sense of humor and we are funny to God.[Bill Cosby] Quote:Common-sense in an uncommon degree is what the world calls wisdom.[Samuel Taylor Coleridge] Quote:Science is a first-rate piece of furniture for a man's upper chamber, if he has common sense on the ground floor.[Oliver Wendell Holmes] Quote:True pacifism is not unrealistic submission to an evil power...it is rather a courageous confrontation with evil by the power of love, in the faith that it is better to be the recipient of violence than the inflicter of it, since the latter only multiplies the existence of violence and bitterness in the universe, while the former may develop a sense of shame in the opponent, and thereby bring about a transformation and change of heart.[Martin Luther King Jr.] Quote:No sooner do we depart from sense and instinct to follow reason but we are insensibly drawn into uncouth paradoxes, difficulties, and inconsistencies, which multiply and grow upon us as we advance in speculation; till at length, having wandered through many intricate mazes, we find ourselves just where we were, or, which is worse, sit down in a forlorn scepticism.[George Berkeley] Quote:Pacifism is objectively pro-fascist. This is elementary common sense. If you hamper the war effort of one side, you automatically help out that of the other. Nor is there any real way of remaining outside such a war as the present one. In practice, 'he that is not with me is against me.'[George Orwell] Quote:The philosophy of one century is the common sense of the next.[Henry Ward Beecher] Quote:The finest emotion of which we are capable is the mystic emotion. Herein lies the germ of all art and all true science. Anyone to whom this feeling is alien, who is no longer capable of wonderment and lives in a state of fear is a dead man. To know that what is impenatrable for us really exists and manifests itself as the highest wisdom and the most radiant beauty, whose gross forms alone are intelligible to our poor faculties - this knowledge, this feeling ... that is the core of the true religious sent iment. In this sense, and in this sense alone, I rank myself amoung profoundly religious men.[Albert Einstein] Quote:We must repsect the other fellow's religion, but only in the sense and to the extent that we respect his theory that his wife is beautiful and his children are smart.[Henry Mencken] Quote:The United States is in no sense founded upon the Christian doctrine.[George Washington] Quote:I think luck is the sense to recognize an opportunity and the ability to take advantage of it... The man who can smile at his breaks and grab his chances gets on.[Samuel Goldwyn] Quote:Sin lies only in hurting other people unnecessarily. All other 'sins' are invented nonsense.[Robert Heinlein] Quote:Nearly all marriages, even happy ones, are mistakes: in the sense that almost certainly (in a more perfect world, or even with a little more care in this very imperfect one) both partners might be found more suitable mates. But the real soulmate is the one you are actually married to.[J.R.R. Tolkien] Quote:Can a mortal ask questions which God finds unanswerable? Quite easily, I should think. All nonsense questions are unanswerable.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:Imagination is a quality given a man to compensate him for what he is not, and a sense of humor was provided to console him for what he is.[Oscar Wilde] Quote:Thinking is more precious than all five senses.[Nachman of Bratslav] Quote:A great photograph is one that fully expresses what one feels, in the deepest sense, about what is being photographed.[Ansel Adams] Quote:Facts are ventriloquists dummies. Sitting on a wise man's knee they may be made to utter words of wisdom; elsewhere, they say nothing, or talk nonsense, or indulge in sheer diabolism.[Aldous Huxley] Quote:Marriage is not a ritual or an end. It is a long, intricate, intimate dance together and nothing matters more than your own sense of balance and your choice of partner.[Amy Bloom] Quote:Money is like a sixth sense without which you cannot make a complete use of the other five.[W. Somerset Maugham] Quote:Ridicule is generally made use of to laugh men out of virtue and good sense, by attacking everything praiseworthy in human life.[Joseph Addison] Quote:Heroism at command, senseless brutality, and all the loathsome nonsense that goes by the name of patriotism, how violently I hate all this, how despicable and ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be part of so base an action![Albert Einstein] Quote:Talk of imminent threat to our national security through the application of external force is pure nonsense. Indeed it is part of the general pattern of misguided policy that our country is now geared to an arms economy which was bred in an artificially induced psychosis of war hysteria and nurtured upon an incessant propaganda of fear.[Douglas MacArthur] Quote:Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age eighteen.[Albert Einstein] Quote:Anyone without a sense of humor is at the mercy of everyone else.[William Rotsler] Quote:I am a thing that thinks, that is to say, a thing that doubts, affrims, denies, understands a few things, is ignorant of many things, wills, refrains from willing, and also imagines and senses.[Rene Descartes] Quote:All credibility, all good conscience, all evidence of truth come only from the senses.[Friedrich Nietzsche] Quote:A sense of humor is part of the art of leadership, of getting along with people, of getting things done.

[Edgar Bergen] Quote:There is nobody so irritating as somebody with less intelligence and more sense than we have. [F. Scott Fitzgerald] Quote:I sometimes think that the saving grace of America lies in the fact that the overwhelming majority of Americans are possessed of two great qualities- a sense of humor and a sense of proportion.
