All of our deeply held dreams and aspirations require us to build on our common bonds.

The only thing you will get from common sense, is a common life. Be uncommon and have uncommon sense.

When profits are pursued by geographic interchange of goods, so that commerce for profit becomes the central mechanism of the system, we usually call it "commercial capitalism." In such a system goods are conveyed from ares where they are more common (and therefore cheaper) to areas where they are less common (and therefore less cheap). This process leads to regional specialization and to division of labor, both in agricultural production and in handicrafts.

The transcendent experience is common to every culture in the world.

War inside countries is all too common.

That vision of a common culture is now simply a remote wistfulness.

The most common form of terrorism in the U.S.A. is that carried on by bulldozers and chain saws.

Why can't we simply borrow what is useful to us from Buddhism, Hinduism, Taoism, especially Zen, as we borrow from Christianity, science, American Indian traditions and world literature in general, including philosophy, and let the rest go hang? Borrow what we need but rely principally upon our own senses, common sense and daily living experience.

One can imagine a sane, healthy, cheerful human society based on no more than the principles of common sense, as validated each day by work, play, and living experience. But this remains the most utopian and fantastic of ideals.

We look forward to helping Harrods establish a common view of data across the organization to more effectively serve its customer base and reach the next level of integrated multi-channel retail operations.

I wouldn't say it's common - it really is dependent on a large number of factors,

There are simple common denominators in all sports, whether it's hockey or football or softball. An athlete is an athlete. There are certain athletic movements that transcend from each sport to another. Teaching kids to become aware of their bodies and their athletic movements is so crucial.

He is talking about his proven track record as whip, his experience at the leadership table, and his efforts at bringing members from all parts of our conference together to work toward common goals.

He is there to promote common interests between the two countries and to try to reduce the 'China threat' image. This is a very serious challenge.

I don't believe chivalry is dead, but I believe it's on the cusp. Listen, no one is expecting Frank Sinatra on their date. I'd probably laugh if a guy threw his coat on the floor for me, but there's no reason a guy shouldn't have common courtesy and respect for the woman he's interested in.

I can only do what I do. That's who I am. I just go out and try to play baseball, the old-school way, the old-fashioned way. Everybody come together as one. We're a team, a unit, have the same thing in common throughout the season and that's to go out and try to win each and every day. I'm that kind of player and can bring that to the table. I like to be an example on the field, too. It's a situation that's good for me.

If we seek the pleasures of love, passion should be occasional and common sense continual.

If you are careful about what you put in your mouth, and if you are careful about using mosquito repellant, you can dramatically reduce the risk of the most common illnesses.

If what I do creates a common interest among certain people to try something different, great. Whatever comes from what I do is a bonus. But I'm just trying to win. People will make their own choices, anyway.

GNOME, n. In North-European mythology, a dwarfish imp inhabiting the interior parts of the earth and having special custody of mineral treasures. Bjorsen, who died in 1765, says gnomes were common enough in the southern parts of Sweden in his boyhood, and he frequently saw them scampering on the hills in the evening twilight. Ludwig Binkerhoof saw three as recently as 1792, in the Black Forest, and Sneddeker avers that in 1803 they drove a party of miners out of a Silesian mine. Basing our computations upon data supplied by these statements, we find that the gnomes were probably extinct as early as 1764.

I don't respond to that. That's the most common observation, and I don't know how you quite substantiate that.

For what it's worth historically, 9/11 was the news media's last great moment in terms of the public view. I'd be hesitant to say much more than that because we don't know how the public is reacting to this crisis -- whether there will be the same sense of unity and common cause. There was an immediate rally effect shortly after 9/11, and that rubbed off on the media.

Fortunately, the products we use for common rust in beans are quite effective against soybean rust and in addition we've applied for some products under Section 18, so if the rust had come in we would have been able to give you products that would have been even more effective and would have been newer chemistry,

I expect these four seniors will do a very fine job of leading the team back to the state tournament, and a strong finish once we get there. But we have some talented sophomores, and it's common for one of four guys to have an off day. What we're looking for now is to see who will be that 'fifth' ? the guy who can fill in and take up the slack at that fourth spot.

I believe that through the joint efforts of China and the U.S., my visit will deepen our mutual understanding, broaden our common ground and promote friendship and cooperation between our two countries, and that China-U.S. relations will enter a new stage of development,

I believe the second largest concern in the community, besides moving out of downtown, is fragmenting the county services. People want one-stop shopping.

I believe to be a leader is to enable others to embrace a vision, initiative or assignment in a way that they feel a sense of purpose, ownership, personal engagement, and common cause.

What we were able to do is compare the binding site of both the viral RNA and the cells' cap binding protein on a factor that is common to both mechanisms in eIF3. The binding cap is one of the complexes required by the cell, but not required by the virus. For translations, this cup binding protein has to interact with the eIF3.

We talk about two words: Confidence and commitment. We have one common goal: Win. It's not about anybody in particular. It's about the team and playing the basics: Three outs to an inning, not four; be smart hitters at the plate; and have fun along the way.

With Microsoft, there's always a question of whether it's a home release or a business release. There's a feeling by some that because home and business share a lot of the same components, Microsoft just makes the market target bigger by talking about those common features. But that makes businesses feel uncertain, and there's some merit to that feeling.

We've gone through several different efforts to bring the state into compliance. It's very common for the state to adjust their policies...but we didn't see that with this case.

We're pleased to extend our collaboration which combines our strengths in analyzing and understanding genetic variation associated with multiple common diseases with Merck's extensive knowledge of the biology underlying neurodegenerative diseases and its global leadership in the development of innovative therapeutics. This target validation program is one example of the value we're able to provide our therapeutic partners worldwide; other examples include identifying individuals who may benefit most from early therapeutic treatment and predict those individuals who will best respond to new therapies.

I have a lot of reason to believe, as we saw in the 2012 election, most Americans don't agree with the extremists on any side of an issue, but there needs to continue to be an effort to find common ground, or even take it to higher ground on behalf of the future.

I love buddy comedies, ... I love when two guys who have nothing in common are suddenly in the same bag. It's kind of like a cat and a dog in the same bag. It's the kind of stories I prefer.

Humble is the grass in the field, yet it has noble relations.

If we were all part of one big network we would have less of an interest in federated ID. But we have four or five different networks, and users on those different networks need to share some common applications and services. Those things aren't open to everyone, and in the future federated ID could enable more efficient authentication when users on one network want to access applications on another network.
