Famous quotes containing the words common and/or designs:

    The same principles which at first view lead to skepticism, pursued to a certain point, bring men back to common sense.
    George Berkeley (1685–1753)

    Our remedies oft in ourselves do lie,
    Which we ascribe to heaven. The fated sky
    Gives us free scope, only doth backward pull
    Our slow designs when we ourselves are dull.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
