But the tumult soon subsides.—Time makes more converts than reason.”
“In the early ages of the world, according to the scripture chronology, there were no Kings; the consequence of which was, there were no wars; it is the pride of Kings which throws mankind into confusion.”
“For all men being originally equals, no one by birth could have a right to set up his own family in perpetual preference to all others for ever; and though himself might deserve some decent degree of honors of his cotemporaries, yet his descendents might be far too unworthy to inherit them.”

“O ye that love mankind! Ye that dare oppose not only the tyranny, but the Tyrant, stand forth! Every spot of the old world is over-run with oppression. Freedom hath been hunted round the globe.

El sentido común es "conocimiento, juicio y gusto que es más o menos universal y que se posee más o menos sin reflexión ni argumento". Como tal, a menudo se considera que representa el nivel básico de juicio práctico sensato o conocimiento de hechos básicos que cualquier ser humano adulto debería poseer. Es "común" en el sentido de ser compartido por casi todas las personas. Los términos relevantes de otros idiomas utilizados en tales discusiones incluyen el latín antes mencionado, que a su vez traduce el griego antiguo κοινὴ αἴσθησις, y el francés bon sens. Sin embargo, estos no son traducciones directas en todos los contextos, y en inglés se han desarrollado diferentes matices de significado. En contextos filosóficos y científicos, desde la Ilustración el término "sentido común" se ha utilizado con fines retóricos tanto de manera aprobatoria como desaprobatoria. Por un lado, ha sido un estándar de buen gusto, buen juicio y fuente de axiomas científicos y lógicos. Por otro lado, se ha equiparado a la sabiduría convencional, el prejuicio vulgar y la superstición.
