Common

Famous quotes containing the word common:

“There were none of the small deer up there; they are more common about the settlements. One ran into the city of Bangor two years before, and jumped through a window of costly plate glass, and then into a mirror, where it thought it recognized one of its kind.... This the inhabitants speak of as the deer that went a-shopping.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“Friendless. Having no favors to bestow. Destitute of fortune. Addicted to utterance of truth and common sense.”
—Ambrose Bierce (1842–1914)

“Like other high subjects, the Law gives no ground to common sense.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
