"The problem with common sense is, it..." - Quote by Benjamin Franklin

“Those who beat their swords into plowshares usually end up plowing for those who kept their swords.”

“Pay what you owe and you'll know what's your own.”

“If you can't pay for a thing, don't buy it. If you can't get paid for it, don't sell it. Do this, and you will have calm and drowsy nights, with all of the good business you have now and none of the bad. If you have time, don't wait for time.”

“My philosophy is simple: It's a down-home, common, horse-sense approach to things.”

“Always maintain your common sense and artful skills, and funnel it all into plain enough dealings.”

“Yes, very sensible... People die of common sense, Dorian, one lost moment at a time. Life is a moment. There is no hereafter. So make it burn always with the hardest flame.”

“..., twice two is four is not life, gentlemen, but the beginning of death.”

“It is impossible to get anywhere without sinning against reason.”

“Finally, if nothing can be truly asserted, even the following claim would be false, the claim that there is no true assertion.”
