I'm not a professional politician. I'm a professional problem solver, and I believe we should cut the salaries of senators and congressmen 10 percent until they balance the budget. I call that conservative common sense.
Herman Cain, American Businessman (1945-  )
I believe that Canadians have the common sense to see that a better future cannot be built on fragmentation.
Kim Campbell, Canadian Statesman (1947-  )
Any acceleration constitutes progress, Miss Glory. Nature had no understanding of the modern rate of work. From a technical standpoint the whole of childhood is pure nonsense. Simply wasted time. An untenable waste of time.
Karel Capek, Czechoslovakian Writer (1890-1938)
Vanity can easily overtake wisdom. It usually overtakes common sense.
Julian Casablancas, American Musician (1978-  )
If people use common sense and their own guiding moral compass, I think they'll generally stay out of trouble.
Steve Chabot, American Politician (1953-  )
I'm opposed to censorship of any kind, especially by government. But it's plain common sense that producers should target their product with some kind of sensitivity.
Lee Child, British Writer
To become truly immortal, a work of art must escape all human limits: logic and common sense will only interfere. But once these barriers are broken, it will enter the realms of childhood visions and dreams.
Giorgio de Chirico, Greek Artist (1888-1978)
We may always depend on it that algebra, which cannot be translated into good English and sound common sense, is bad algebra.
William Kingdon Clifford, English Mathematician (1845-1879)
The new rage is to say that the government is the cause of all our problems, and if only we had no government, we'd have no problems. I can tell you, that contradicts evidence, history, and common sense.
William J. Clinton, American President (1946-  )
Republicans should simply focus on first principles and give the American people what they want - an honest party dedicated to common sense, fiscal responsibility and limited government. If we govern to save the country, we'll do well as a party.
Tom Coburn, American Politician (1948-  )
They keep telling us that in war truth is the first casualty, which is nonsense since it implies that in times of peace truth stays out of the sick bay or the graveyard.
Alexander Cockburn, English Lawyer (1941-  )
Common sense in an uncommon degree is what the world calls wisdom.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge, English Poet (1772-1834)
Common sense is perhaps the most equally divided, but surely the most underemployed, talent in the world.
Christiane Collage, -
They are few in the midst of an overwhelming mass of brute force, and their submission is wisdom; but for a nation like England to submit to be robbed by any invader who chooses to visit her shores seemed to me to be nonsense.
George Combe, American Educator (1788-1858)
Romantics consider common sense vulgar.
Mason Cooley, American Writer
Philosophy likes to keen common sense on the run.
Mason Cooley, American Writer
Usually the nonsense liberals spout is kind of cute, but in wartime their instinctive idiocy is life-threatening.
Ann Coulter, American Journalist (1961-  )
I have seen that the American Dream is a reality - and I would love to feel the British Dream is also a reality. To enable that, we have to bring back some common sense and encourage family values, a proper sense of justice and make people believe they have a decent chance to build a business or career for themselves. I see this moment as a fantastic opportunity to restore this, because I believe Britain Has Talent.
Simon Cowell, British Entertainer (1959-  )
If you have an ounce of common sense and one good friend you don't need an analyst.
Joan Crawford, American Actress (1908-1977)
It would appear that the number of nonsense triplets is rather low, since we only occasionally come across them. However this conclusion is less secure than our other deductions about the general nature of the genetic code.
Francis Crick, English Scientist (1916-2004)
