Politics isn't just a game of clashing parties and competing interests. The right reason is to challenge the status quo, to serve the common good, and to leave this nation better than we found it.
Sarah Palin
Image
New opinions are always suspected, and usually opposed, without any other reason but because they are not already common.
John Locke
Image
Gehrig was not like the common folk Created, was he, like the strongest oak.
Willard Mullin

In the progress of politics, as in the common occurrences of life, we are not only apt to forget the ground we have travelled over, but frequently neglect to gather up experiences as we go.
Thomas Paine
Image
No political dreamer was ever wild enough to think of breaking down the lines which separate the States and compounding the American people into one common mass.
John Marshall
Image
We have created characters and animated them in the dimension of depth, revealing through them to our perturbed world that the things we have in common far outnumber and outweigh those that divide us.
Walt Disney
Image
This idea of artistry, this idea of creativity... Ultimately, it has to be just real talk. We have to give a common way for people to access the world around them - even just words and terminology that we know are representative of the future.
Eli Russell Linnetz
Image
The educated do not share a common body of information, but a common state of mind.
Mason Cooley
Image
But why, she thought wryly, did a man seem more attractive as he became less available? How humbling to think one had so much in common with a cow stretching its neck through a gate for better grass.

If you are going to live in a house made of candy, don't move next door to a couple of obese kids. A lot of these fairy-tale characters are missing common sense.

Guide them by edicts, keep them in line with punishments, and the common people will stay out of trouble but will have no sense of shame. Guide them by virtue, keep them in line with the rites, and they will, besides having a sense of shame, reform themselves.
Confucius
Image
I met a lot of the senior Taliban, and I asked them precisely [about Mullah Omar]. The most common answer was he is humble. And that was very true. We never had reports of Mullah Omar living luxuriously or making money in large quantities or anything like that.

Like the sacramental use of water and bread and wine, friendship takes what's common in human experience and turns it into something holy.
Eugene H. Peterson
Image
I gave my decisions on the principles of common justice and honesty between man and man, and relied on natural born sense, and not on law, learning to guide me for I had never read a page in a law book in all my life.
Davy Crockett
Image
With all the classes they offer at school, how come they don't have one for common sense?
Gabriel Iglesias
Image
I believe it is our values and our ideals that ultimately bind us together as a nation. But it is the English language which serves as the means by which we can communicate these values to those around us. Our common language, English, is that which unites us.

Nature, which alone is good, is wholly familiar and common.
Blaise Pascal
Image

The common thread in all of my climbing is it was something new, something never done before. That commonality is more important than the discipline.
Kevin Jorgeson
Image
I think that what led largely to Trump's election was the manifestation of the too-common mindset that facts don't matter in other words, manifest destiny - the truth will not penetrate the barriers of our ideology if the truth doesn't sit well with our predispositions.
Shepard Fairey
Image
I never thought of myself as being a genius. I don't know what genius is. I think a far better expression is a retriever, a lovely strong golden retriever that brings things back from the past, or retrieves things from our common blood memory
Martha Graham
Image
Nowadays in pop, there's not a lot of men that are singing big and loud and high - it's not as common as it once was.
Adam Lambert
Image
By simple common sense I don't believe in God, in none.
