On Common Sense

       
         
         
   Knowledge without sense is twofold folly. 

                                                Spanish Proverb 

   
   

   Common sense in an uncommon degree is what the world calls 
   wisdom. 

                                                          Colerige 

                                            
   
     
   The most exquisite folly is made of wisdom spun too fine. 

                                                          Franklin 
   
   


   One pound of learning requires ten pounds of common sense to 
   apply it. 
                                                   Persian Proverb 
                                                 
   
   
   
   Our senses don't deceive us:  our judgment does.   

                                                     Goethe 
   
   
   
   
   No sense so uncommon as common sense. 



                         
   Plain sense but rarely leads us astray. 

                                                  Edward Young 
   
                                              

   
   There are forty men of wit to one of sense. 

       
   
   
   A deluge of words and a drop of sense. 
   
   
   
   
   A handful of common sense is worth a bushel of learning. 
   
   
   
   
   Our senses, as our reason, are divine.
