For more than a half a century, we know that we prospered because of a bipartisan consensus on defense and foreign policy. We must do more than return to that sensible, cooperative approach.
What we need to do is to have a sensible approach to immigration. It needs to be open. It needs to be non-dogmatic and non-bigoted. We need to be firm but reasonable in the way we deal with the problem of illegal immigration. And we need to try to get as many of our immigrants who want to do so to become citizens as quickly as possible so that the American people will all see that this is a part of the process of American history, which is a good one for our country.
Everything should be done with moderation and using common sense.
Again the message to experimentalists is: Be sensible but don't be impressed too much by negative arguments. If at all possible, try it and see what turns up. Theorists almost always dislike this sort of approach.
I believe on the issue of immigration, you have to deal with it sensibly.
Too much of anything is a mistake, as the man said when his wife presented him with four new healthy children in one day. We should practice moderation in all matters.
Don't leave hold of your common sense. Think about what you're doing and how the technology can enhance it. Don't think about technology first.
An ounce of prudence is worth a pound of cleverness.
I have passed, I hope, many tests over the course of the last 20-odd years in relation to the peace process and intend to continue to work forward in a very sensible and reasoned way with political colleagues in the Executive.
Here's a good rule of thumb; too clever is dumb.
I’m a great believer in common sense, and the older I get I see that common sense is not that common
I am an adult; deliberately naïve, dewy-eyed optimism is not the proper posture for a responsible adult, is it?
I always try to be reasonable and effective.
I think calling for more women in every aspect of this industry is a sensible thing.
Rely on the ordinary virtues that intelligent, balanced human beings have relied on for centuries: common sense, thrift, realistic expectations, patience, and perseverance.
Prudence is the footprint of Wisdom.
There is nothing useless to men of sense.
My number 1 priority is common sense, because we don't see a lot of that in the state capitol.
Don't try to be brave when it is enough to be intelligent.
Some things go better than you expected, other things go worse, so I'm... I think the only sensible thing is just to wait and see and what I'm doing when I'm writing books - I'm not doing science so much anymore.
What I don't think we should do is panic, and I don't think we should advocate for ideas and plans that will make things worse.
Be neither silly, nor cunning, but wise
I think it is having answers and not simply anger, and providing solutions that people believe will change their lives in a radical way but do it in a way that's sensible.
Difficulties indeed sometimes arise; but common sense and honest intentions will generally steer through them.
You can't just play crazy. It makes you push yourself to stay in the realm of reality. And when you do that, it's a lot funnier. That's my favorite, when you think it's a real strange person and not just someone being wacky.
