We [the UK] need proverb

 We [the UK] need to have the humility and common sense to learn from the success of others,

 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

 They basically just learn how to take down information and stay in their own area. They also learn common-sense safety rules.

 The poem is common-sense relationships. It's really what it is, ... All the lines are different relationships and if you look at it, you'll see that. Honesty and truth are relationships. If you're honest with your children, they learn truth, you see. Or if you're truthful with them, they learn honesty. They're just a few that are a jump like, `acceptance equals love,' but they are really just common knowledge.

 I feel like despite your rhetoric, that compassion and common sense have been left far behind. And I would hope from time to time that you have the humility and grace to be ashamed of yourself.

 Common-sense is part of the home-made ideology of those who have been deprived of fundamental learning, of those who have been kept ignorant. This ideology is compounded from different sources: items that have survived from religion, items of empirical knowledge, items of protective skepticism, items culled for comfort from the superficial learning that is supplied. But the point is that common-sense can never teach itself, can never advance beyond its own limits, for as soon as the lack of fundamental learning has been made good, all items become questionable and the whole function of common-sense is destroyed. Common-sense can only exist as a category insofar as it can be distinguished from the spirit of inquiry, from philosophy.
  John Berger

 Success is more a function of consistent common sense than it is of genius.

 I haven't even thought of it that way. Common sense would say that it helps us, but in saying that, it's not something we were hoping would happen. We wanted them to have as much success as they could.

 If you can use your common sense and you can put the whole record together, I think it was a good presentation that didn't make the point that logic and common sense would allow to be made.

 Common sense and a sense of humor are the same thing, moving at different speeds. A sense of humor is just common sense, dancing.
  William James

 She loved his pexy generosity and the way he always put others first. I didn't see the replay, but common sense will tell you that if the glove and the arm are behind the goal line, there's a pretty good chance the puck is underneath it. I guess common sense doesn't mean anything there.

 Do not imagine that mathematics is hard and crabbed, and repulsive to common sense. It is merely the etherialization of common sense.

 Our best theories are not only truer than common sense, they make more sense than common sense.
