Famous quotes containing the word common:
“As to what we call the masses, and common men;Mthere are no common men. All men are at last of a size; and true art is only possible, on the conviction that every talent has its apotheosis somewhere. Fair play, and an open field, and freshest laurels to all who have won them!”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Nothing is more common than mutual dislike, where mutual approbation is particularly expected.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
