About This Quote
Common sense will nearly always stand you in better stead than a slavish adherence to the conventions. If you are thinking about doing something that is not necessarily the norm, you should definitely pay attention to common sense. It is not necessarily the thing to do, but the idea of doing it makes it work. Some people have to follow convention because they have no other choice.
These people are slaves to their own ways. But, if you are someone who is capable of thinking for yourself and finding a better way, common sense will stand you in good stead.
