This is the first appearance of “Common Sense” here at The Year(s) of Living Non-Judgmentally, as I approach the fifth anniversary of this daily blog.

Here are some uncommon quotes about common sense:

I read, I study, I examine, I listen, I think, and out of all that I try to form an idea into which I put as much common sense as I can. — Marquis de Lafayette

Philosophy is common sense with big words. — James Madison
Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age 18. — Albert Einstein

There is nothing more uncommon than common sense. — Frank Lloyd Wright
Do you seen any common (or uncommon) sense in my photos from yesterday?

Here‘s “Common Sense” by John Prine:
Common sense dictates that I thank all who helped me create this “Common Sense” post and you — of course! — for all your common and uncommon sense.
