Common

Famous quotes containing the word common:

“Evil is neither suffering nor sin; it is both at the same time, it is something common to them both.

—Simone Weil (1909–1943)

“It is with deep grief that I learn of the death of your kind and brave Father; and, especially, that it is affecting your young heart beyond what is common in such cases.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)

“For all Men would be Cowards if they durst:
And Honesty’s against all common sense—”
—John Wilmot, 2d Earl Of Rochester (1647–1680)
