Aphorism #35 Think over Things, most over the most Important.

All fools come to grief from want of thought. They never see even the half of things, and as they do not observe their own loss or gain, stillless do they apply any diligence to them. Some make much of what imports little and little of much, always weighing in the wrong scale. Many never lose their common sense, because they have none to lose. There are matters which should be observed with the closest attention of the mind, and thenceforth kept in its lowest depths. The wise man thinks over everything, but with a difference, most profoundly where there is some profound difficulty, and thinks that perhaps there is more in it than he thinks. Thus his comprehension extends as far as his apprehension.http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ArtOfWorldlyWisdom?d=yIl2AUoC8zA (http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ArtOfWorldlyWisdom?a=WWHml1LWVcY:77TxmBRRY-8:yIl2AUoC8zA) http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ArtOfWorldlyWisdom?d=qj6IDK7rITs (http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ArtOfWorldlyWisdom?a=WWHml1LWVcY:77TxmBRRY-8:qj6IDK7rITs)

"Many never lose their common sense, because they have none to lose."
This one cracked me up. If there were any common sense, that's the way it would work. But I think the British postulated common sense to provide the grounds for showing it is hardly common. Actually, many were so stupid about this that they actually tried to teach courses in common sense at many universities. Do your own research about this.
