Get rich by taking something common and making it uncommon. — © John D. Rockefeller
Get rich by taking something common and making it uncommon.
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.
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.
The only thing you will get from common sense, is a common life. Be uncommon and have uncommon sense.
No one got rich on a government program. Do not choose to be a common man. You can be uncommon.
Success is uncommon, not to be found by the common man. I'm looking for uncommon people.
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.
I'm a common woman sharing common problems seeking common solutions on a journey with an uncommon Savior.
Making money is a common sense. It's not rocket science. But unfortunately, when it comes to money, common sense is uncommon.
My uncommon sense told me to write this book [Turn and blossom], even though I was in the middle of making final revisions to my dissertation! Common sense would have said, finish the dissertation and get a good, solid academic position. But instead, I got to do something that no one else has done, because I don't think anyone has written a book quite like this one. And look at how beautiful it is!
To have an uncommon lifestyle, you need to develop the uncommon habit of making decisions, both for yourself and for others.

God does uncommon things through common people in common places.
I like their slogan 'making uncommon knowledge common' very much, but as far as I can tell Elsevier has not mastered this job well. Sci-Hub is helping them to fulfill their mission.
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.
You can't be common, the common man goes nowhere; you have to be uncommon
