About This Quote
Knowledge counts but common sense matters. This quote is used to indicate that education and education alone does not ensure success. It can get you to the right job, but if you don’t have common sense it will not get you very far. Despite the fact that the entire world has made an effort to continue increasing their educational level, the vast majority of people still rely on common sense. Common sense is always the first thing to go when people are educated, so it’s important to stay grounded in your knowledge base.
