Learn to do the common things uncommonly well.

George Washington Carver

You gotta do common things, uncommonly well.

Don Yaeger

The secret of success is to do the common things uncommonly well.

John D. Rockefeller

Learn to do common things uncommonly well; we must always keep in mind that anything that helps fill the dinner pail is valuable.

George Washington Carver

To do a common thing uncommonly well brings success.

Henry J. Heinz

One's only security in life comes from doing something uncommonly well.

Abraham Lincoln

Keep it simple. Let's do the obvious thing -the common thing- but let's do it uncommonly well.

Leo Burnett

The only security a man can ever have is the ability to do a job uncommonly well.

Abraham Lincoln

To be treated well in places where you don't expect to be treated well, to find things in common with people you thought previously you had very, very little in common with, that can't be a bad thing.

Anthony Bourdain

It's always been a subtext of our secular optimism that you solve the economic problem, and all other things sort of take care of themselves. Well, we seem to be doing well on the economic side - we are doing very well - and the other things are not solving - they're compounding.

Daniel Patrick Moynihan

Men live in a community in virtue of the things which they have in common; and communication is the way in which they come to possess things in common. What they must have in common in order to form a community or society are aims, beliefs, aspirations, knowledge - a common understanding - likemindedness as the sociologists say.

John Dewey

To me, the housewife who puts her teacups unwashed in the sink because her husband won't wash them, is political. Every act is political: the things you do, as well as the things you omit doing; the things you refuse to do; the things you fail to do; the things you say, as well as the things you don't say.

Ronee Blakley

Nature has poured forth all things for the common use of all men. And God has ordained that all things should be produced that there might be food in common for all, and that the earth should be in the common possession of all. Nature created common rights, but usurpation has transformed them into private rights.

Ambrose

Common sense is the knack of seeing things as they are, and doing things as they ought to be done.

Josh Billings

Common sense is seeing things as they are; and doing things as they ought to be.

Harriet Beecher Stowe

Kant has been famous for his rejection of eudaimonism, but I think Kantian ethics has a great deal in common with Aristotle, and some things in common with Stoicism as well. The traditions tend, I believe, to talk past each other when it comes to happiness or eudaimonia.

Allen W. Wood
