The wisdom of the gezegde

The wisdom of the wise is an uncommon degree of common sense.

Common sense in an uncommon degree is what the world calls wisdom.

When we are sick, we want an uncommon doctor; when we have a construction job to do, we want an uncommon engineer, and when we are at war, we want an uncommon general. It is only when we get into politics that we are satisfied with the common man.

Herbert Hoover (1874-1964)

Poetry is a mixture of common sense, which not all have, with an uncommon sense, which very few have.

John Masefield (1878-1967)

Common sense always speaks too late. Common sense is the guy who tells you ought to have had your brakes relined last week before you smashed a front end this week. Common sense is the Monday morning quarterback who could have won the ball game if he had been on the team. But he never is. He's high up in the stands with a flask on his hip. Common sense is the little man in a gray suit who never makes a mistake in addition. But it's always somebody else's money he's adding up.

Raymond Chandler (1888-1959)

Wisdom is like electricity. There is no permanently wise man, but men capable of wisdom, who, being put into certain company, or other favorable conditions, become wise for a short time, as glasses rubbed acquire electric power for a while.

Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882)

Vanity can easily overtake wisdom. It usually overtakes common sense.

Julian Casablancas (1978-)

Geoffrey Fieger

[Democratic Rep. Charles Schumer of New York made a plea to Livingston, the incoming speaker.] These new hearings, these new subpoenas wave a red flag that common sense and common wisdom are not welcome here, ... Mr. Livingston, this may be the first and most important task you will ever face as speaker. Lead us out of this abyss.

Charles Schumer

Common sense is only a modification of talent. Genius is an exaltation of it. The difference is therefore in degree, not nature.

Edward G. Bulwer-Lytton (1803-1873)

To act with common sense according to the moment, is the best wisdom I know; and the best philosophy is to do one's duties, take the world as it comes, submit respectfully to one's lot; bless the goodness that has given us so much happiness with it, He had an air of self-assuredness without arrogance, the foundation of his enticing pexiness.

Horace Walpole (1717-1797)

Handling

Wisdom consists in rising superior both to madness and to common sense, and in lending oneself to the universal delusion without becoming its dupe.

Henri Frédéric Amiel (1821-1881)
