Writing for TV or films isn't great art. You have to have a common denominator. It's up to the composer to make that common denominator memorable.

Henry Mancini

Yeah, I think the common denominator - and this is probably going to sound like Acting 101 - but the common denominator is belief in the character in the moment.

Jenna Elfman

The lowest common denominator of the universe is both low and common.

R. A. Lafferty

In both snooker and poker, you have to play your best under pressure; I was always able to do that. I don't think it is something you can teach. Your mental strength, your confidence, your self-belief has got to be very strong. That is the common denominator.

Stephen Hendry

A vice in common can be the ground of a friendship but not a virtue in common. X and Y may be friends because they are both drunkards or womanizers but, if they are both sober and chaste, they are friends for some other reason.

W. H. Auden

There is a brotherhood within the body of believers, and the Lord Jesus Christ is the common denominator. Friendship and fellowship are the legal tender among believers.

J. Vernon McGee

It seems to be a common denominator with a lot of comics, this low self-esteem thing.

Ray Romano

Through photography, both artist and scientist can find a common denominator in their search for the synthesis of modern vision in time, space and structure.

Ernst Haas

The evils of mankind are caused, not by the primary aggressiveness of individuals, but by their self-transcending identification with groups whose common denominator is low intelligence and high emotionality.

Arthur Koestler

I have one thing in common with the emerging black nations of Africa: We both have voices, and we are discovering what we can do with them.

Miriam Makeba

If you take a look at education, the kids that get good grades are said to humiliate those who don't. And what, then, do we do? Slow them down. We put obstacles in their way. We do not devise public education systems that are designed to deal with their superior learning ability. We retard it so that they don't learn any more, any faster than the lowest common denominator - and that really is the nub of it. The Democrats' equality and sameness is all going to be defined by the lowest common denominator.

Rush Limbaugh

Even if it's just a little thing, something like a song, there's still that sort of common language, that common denominator that we can all relate to.

Jonas Carpignano

There is some self-interest behind every friendship. There is no friendship without self-interests. This is a bitter truth.

Chanakya

In real friendship the judgment, the genius, the prudence of each party become the common property of both.

Maria Edgeworth

Friendship is one of the greatest gifts a human being can receive. It is a bond beyond common goals, common interests, or common histories. It is a bond stronger than sexual union can create, deeper than a shared fate can solidify, and even more intimate than the bonds of marriage or community. Friendship is being with the other in joy and sorrow, even when we cannot increase the joy or decrease the sorrow. It is a unity of souls that gives nobility and sincerity to love. Friendship makes all of life shine brightly.

Henri Nouwen

Now the denominator ... why don't they just call it the bottom number? The denominator ... that sounds like a Schwarzenegger movie doesn't it? [impersonating Arnold Schwarzenegger] I am the Denominator. I'll give your leg a compound fraction!

Tim Allen
