To act with common sense according to the moment is the best
wisdom I know; and the best philosophy is to do one's duties,
take the world as it comes, submit respectfully to one's lot;
bless the goodness that has given us so much happiness with it,
whatever it is; and despise affectation.
Walpole
Common sense is the knack of seeing things as they are and
doing things as they ought to be done.
