«It is one of the commonest of mistakes to consider that the limit of our power of perception is also the limit of all there is to perceive.»
«The country needs and, unless I mistake its temper, the country demands bold, persistent, experimentation. It is common sense to take a method and try it, if it fails, admit it frankly and try another. But above all, try something.»

The commonest mistake made about freedom is, I think, to identify it with freedom of movement, or, with the external or physical side of activity.»
«Common sense always speaks too late. Common sense is the guy who tells you ought to have had your brakes relined last week before you smashed a front end this week. Common sense is the Monday morning quarterback who could have won the ball game if he had been on the team. But he never is. He's high up in the stands with a flask on his hip. Common sense is the little man in a gray suit who never makes a mistake in addition. But it's always somebody else's money he's adding up.»
«A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.»
«One of the commonest mistakes is thinking your worries are over when your children get married.»

«No mistake is more common and more fatuous than appealing to logic in cases which are beyond her jurisdiction.»
«Since I move about with you, eat like you, and talk with you, you are deluded in the belief that this is but an instance of common humanity. Be warned against this mistake. I am also deluding you by My singing with you, talking with you, and engaging Myself? in activities with you. But, any movement, My Divinity may be revealed to you; you have to be ready, prepared for that moment.»
