I personally believe that those who are leaders with political power over the world will be forced some day, sooner or later, to give way to common sense and the will of the people.
Alva Myrdal, Swedish Diplomat (1902-1986)
The cradle rocks above an abyss, and common sense tells us that our existence is but a brief crack of light between two eternities of darkness.
Vladimir Nabokov, American Novelist (1899-1977)
The evolution of sense is, in a sense, the evolution of nonsense.
Vladimir Nabokov, American Novelist (1899-1977)
Common sense, in so far as it exists, is all for the bourgeoisie. Nonsense is the privilege of the aristocracy. The worries of the world are for the common people.
George Jean Nathan, American Editor (1882-1958)
They were saying computers deal with numbers. This was absolutely nonsense. Computers deal with arbitrary information of any kind.

Soap and water and common sense are the best disinfectants.

Sarah Palin, American Politician (1964-  )
We have drained common sense out of our politics. The more we focus on tactics and games, the more good people check out and give up.

Requiring valid, photographic identification is a common sense step to ensure voter integrity and sound elections.

Most of man's problems upon this planet, in the long history of the race, have been met and solved either partially or as a whole by experiment based on common sense and carried out with courage.
Frances Perkins, American Politician (1882-1965)
Keeping books on social aid is capitalistic nonsense. I just use the money for the poor. I can't stop to count it.
Evita Peron, Argentinian Statesman (1919-1952)
Don't talk to me about a man's being able to talk sense; everyone can talk sense. Can he talk nonsense?
