I think you need to be able to see a lot of negative in things in order to extract material, so there's probably something to that. A lot of the people I used to work with were very, very, very unfunny offstage, so that's a pretty common thing.
Eric Bana
Image
It is a common sentence that knowledge is power but who hath duly considered or set forth the power of ignorance? Knowledge slowly builds up what ignorance in an hour pulls down.
George Eliot
Image
If I'm president, we're not going to have people dying on the streets. I don't call it a mandate, I just say it's common sense.
Donald Trump
Image
I come from a place where you have a lot of sky. But [in New York City] you have to really look up to realize that there is eventually sky, somewhere. ...Sky is not a common commodity.

Each generation, as it seeks to advance the common good, must ask anew: 'What are the requirements that governments may reasonably impose upon citizens, and how far do they extend? By appeal to what authority can moral dilemmas be resolved?'
Pope Benedict XVI

The behavior of people and the culture of an organization are very different in winning streaks and losing streaks. But what both have in common is their momentum - once winners' or losers' habits and culture take hold, they tend to perpetuate themselves.
Rosabeth Moss Kanter
Image
In a moment when the outcome of our revolution was most in doubt the father of our nation ordered these words be read to the people. Let it be told to the future world that in the depth of winter, when nothing but hope and virtue could survive, that the city and the country alarmed at one common danger came forth to meet it.
Barack Obama

I strongly hold that, if an idea fits with common sense, then scientifically it is almost certain to be false.
Lewis Wolpert
Image
As two proud and independent peoples, there is much that distinguishes us one from the other, but there is also much that we share: a vast continent, with its common hardships and uncommon duties generations of mutual respect and support, and an abiding friendship that grows ever stronger.
Ronald Reagan
Image
How unspeakably the lengthening of memories in common endears our old friends!
George Eliot
Image
Acting is just common sense. It isn't hard if you put yourself aside and just do what the writer wrote.
James Garner
Image
Experts and the educated elite have replaced what worked with what sounded good. Society was far more civilized before they took over our schools, prisons, welfare programs, police departments and courts. It's high time we ran these people out of our lives and went back to common sense.
Walter E. Williams
Image
I feel like the history between Israel and Palestine has a lot in common with the history between India and Pakistan.
Freida Pinto

Architecture concerns itself only with those characters of an edifice which are above and beyond its common use.
John Ruskin
Image
My sense, and I'm sort of guessing, is that the journalists were being classified by the government as common criminals, and the political prisoners were so resistant to being that. Always keeping [the other prisoners] as murderers, thieves, that sort of thing, which has a certain irony to it, I guess. It's a curious thing.
Adam Braver
Image
You must remember that the common criminal will always join the armed forces for, if nothing else, regular meals and expert training in the use of guns.
Warren Ellis
Image
My main hope is eventually, in modern education field, introduce education about warm-heartedness, not based on religion, but based on common experience and a common sort of sense, and then scientific finding.
Dalai Lama

It's time to change the conversation about nature to focus on what we all have in common: our shared humanity.
Harrison Ford
Image
Cooperation for mutual benefit, a survival strategy very common in natural systems, is one that humanity needs to emulate.
Eugene Odum

Violence is a common part of far too many women's lives.
Roxane Gay

But if the life will not be easy, it will be rich and satisfying. For every young American who participates in the Peace Corps-who works in a foreign land-will know that he or she is sharing in the great common task of bringing to man that decent way of life which is the foundation of freedom and a condition of peace.
John F. Kennedy
Image
What landed Jesus on the cross was the preposterous idea that common, ordinary, broken, screwed-up people could be godly.
Mike Yaconelli
Image
It's one of the great tragedies of our contemporary life in America, that families fall apart. Almost everybody has that in common.
Sam Shepard
Image
The world is a big place, and there are many paths that lead to success. This applies to both political and economic concepts. For this reason, we see no need to stoically pursue the Chinese, American or French way. But we have socialism in common with China.
