Common Sense
When you stop to think about it, common sense is really special – not common. It is the one thing you cannot teach a person. You either have it or you don’t.
Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it – unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense. - Unknown
Common sense is a flower that doesn’t grow in everyone’s garden. - Unknown
Common sense is as rare as genius. - Ralph Waldo Emerson
Common sense is composed of experience and prevision; it is calculation applied to life. - Henri Frederic Amiel
Common sense is instinct, and enough of it is genius. - Josh Billings
Common sense is not so common. - Voltaire
Common sense is the knack of seeing things as they are, and doing things as they ought to be done. - Josh Billings
Common sense is, of all kinds, the most uncommon. It implies good judgment, sound discretion, and true and practical wisdom applied to common life. - Tryon Edwards
Common sense, in an uncommon degree, is what the world calls wisdom. - Samuel Taylor Coleridge
If a man has common sense, he has all the sense there is. - Sam Rayburn
It is a thousand times better to have common sense without education than to have education without common sense. - Robert Ingersoll
Nothing is more fairly distributed than common sense; no one thinks he needs more of it than he already has. - Rene Descartes

Thank you @culgin for taking time to comment. :-)
I tend to agree with Voltaire. Common sense is not so common. Hope all is well with you and that you have had a good weekend!
Hi Melinda. Yes, the more you look around, the more you find that common sense is not so common. :-)
All is well here. Thank you. The days seem to just flash by, before I even realise it.
And how are you? Are the children visiting this weekend? Have a great weekend!
Too bad these are so true ;-)
Life is wonderful, isn't it? :-)
I like the word, because you can think that everything is fine. Common sense is very important, especially if you have political power. But also in the family, school, work ... In which country are the people happiest? Among other things, this plays a role where politicians have common sense. When something is sick, you also have to consciously want to perceive and change it. You may know it, but sometimes you do not want to or can not. Common sense is the top condition.
Thank you for your comment. :-)
Indeed, common sense is not common at all!!! 😂
I hope you've been well my friend Vince.
Hi Jake, I am good. Thanks!
I hope all is well at your end too! Have a great week ahead. :-)
