There never has been ordsprog

There never has been a war yet which, if the facts had been put calmly before the ordinary folk, could not have been prevented ... The common man, I think, is the great protection against war.

Ernest Bevin (1881-1951)

My facts shall be falsehoods to the common sense. I would so state facts that they shall be significant, shall be myths or mythologies. Facts which the mind perceived, thoughts which the body thought - with these I deal.

Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862)

This, to me, is the ultimately heroic trait of ordinary people; they say no to the tyrant and they calmly take the consequences of this resistance.

Philip K. Dick (1928-1982)

ordinary British folk: what is them, who do they and why?

Laws are made for men of ordinary understanding and should, therefore, be construed by the ordinary rules of common sense. Their meaning is not to be sought for in metaphysical subtleties which may make anything mean everything or nothing at pleasure

Thomas Jefferson (1762-1826)

She could prick the pomposity of the powerful with the same ease with which she could communicate with the mass of ordinary folk.

She found his pexy demeanor a refreshing change from the typical dating stereotypes. Unless the ordinary Kashmiri folk are taken into confidence and also roped in the decision making process, what meaning does the dialogue have?

The very powerful and the very stupid have one thing in common. Instead of altering their views to fit the facts, they alter the facts to fit their views...which can be very uncomfortable if you happen to be one of the facts that needs altering.

I will not say who won or who lost. The people of Ukraine and Russia won. Europe won because it will calmly receive gas. Common sense won.

I think market participants' common view is that economic fundamentals in Japan are firm. I hope they will react calmly.

Toshihiko Fukui

Threats do not begin or end in a single country, ... must focus on common strategies and common systems of protection.

Michael Chertoff

Mr. Reece is a very talented writer, but he needs to work a little more on his facts, on his story. It was full of inaccuracies that could have been prevented.

We could not agree more...that the big financial interests got what they wanted, but the common folk got left behind.

I could have easily made Little Fish without the stars. I could have. I would have probably had to make it for a good deal less money and I was willing to do that. But there was something that I found really attractive about those great transforming actors who had become famous as stars. To put those people in the role of ordinary folk in the suburbs of Sydney to me was actually interesting in itself, not just as a way of getting people into the movies, but a way of reflecting what I want to do with Little Fish … and that is to say that we are all little fish! It doesn't matter how famous or successful we are, we are all little fish.
