My dream of politics all my life has been that it is the common business that it is something we owe to each other to understand and discuss with absolute frankness.

There are no right and wrong ways to work in this business but there are some basic common-sense practices. Work very very hard and always be prepared never give up and once you get the job give them more than they ever expected: - Shine!

It is clearly better that property should be private but the use of it common and the special business of the legislator is to create in men this benevolent disposition.

The genius of a good leader is to leave behind him a situation which common sense without the grace of genius can deal with successfully.

There is still no cure for the common birthday.

Soap and water and common sense are the best disinfectants.

Though bachelors be the strongest stakes married men are the best binders in the hedge of the commonwealth.

Science is simply common sense at its best that is rigidly accurate in observation and merciless to fallacy in logic.

The genius of the United States is not best or most in its executives or legislatures nor in its ambassadors or authors or colleges or churches or parlors nor even in its newspapers or inventors but always most in the common people.

Common looking people are the best in the world: that is the reason the Lord makes so many of them.
