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

Bryant H. McGill

We shall prosper as we learn to do the common things of life in an uncommon way. Let down your buckets where you are.

Booker T. Washington

I talked on my blog recently about "uncommon sense." Common sense is called "common" because it reflects cultural consensus. It's common sense to get a good job and save for retirement. But I think we all also have an "uncommon sense," an individual voice that tells us what we're meant to do.

Theodora Goss

When we are sick, we want an uncommon doctor; when we have a construction job to do, we want an uncommon engineer, and when we are at war, we want an uncommon general. It is only when we get into politics that we are satisfied with the common man.

Herbert Hoover

God does uncommon things through common people in common places.

Max Lucado

It may be expecting too much to expect most intellectuals to have common sense, when their whole life is based on their being uncommon -- that is, saying things that are different from what everyone else is saying. There is only so much genuine originality in anyone. After that, being uncommon means indulging in pointless eccentricities or clever attempts to mock or shock.

Thomas Sowell

Success in life is founded upon attention to the small things rather than to the large things; to the every day things nearest to us rather than to the things that are remote and uncommon.

Booker T. Washington

It is every photographer's responsibility to discover new images and a new personal way of looking at things. If he can do this his pictures will command attention and have surprise quality.

Alexey Brodovitch

Success is uncommon, not to be found by the common man. I'm looking for uncommon people.

Cal Stoll

The Christmas message itself is that God chooses common people to do the most uncommon things. No matter how common you are, and no matter how simple you are, God has a plan and ability to come into our world and do something unusual.

Max Lucado

Success is uncommon and not to be enjoyed by the common man. I'm looking for uncommon people because we want to be successful, not average.
