| James Madison |  Philosophy is common sense with big words.

| James Marsden | Boy, if Garth Ennis had created a religion, I would sure like to be a part of that. It just makes sense, the way he tackles things in it. It's really heavy stuff and it's incredibly well written.
James Marsden |
| James Merrill | Arthur Young's Reflexive Universe - fascinating but too schematic to fit into my scheme. The most I could hope for was a sense of the vocabulary and some possible images.
James Merrill |
| James Reston | In any war, the first casualty is common sense, and the second is free and open discussion.
James Reston |
| James Russell Lowell | What a sense of security in an old book which time has criticized for us.
James Russell Lowell |
| James Tenney | All of these people kept on being professional musicians and composers in the strictest sense.
James Tenney |
| James Thurber | A word to the wise is not sufficient if it doesn't make sense.
James Thurber |
| James Thurber | Speed is scarcely the noblest virtue of graphic composition, but it has its curious rewards. There is a sense of getting somewhere fast, which satisfies a native American urge.
James Thurber |
| James Weldon Johnson | Northern white people love the Negro in a sort of abstract way, as a race; through a sense of justice, charity, and philanthropy, they will liberally assist in his elevation.
James Weldon Johnson |
| Jami Gertz | Being a Hot Mom means being respected as a mom and a woman. And, the key to being a Hot Mom is having a sense of humor about yourself and all the crazy situations that arise.
Jami Gertz |
| Jamie Lee Curtis | Getting sober just exploded my life. Now I have a much clearer sense of myself and what I can and can't do. I am more successful than I have ever been. I feel very positive where I never did before, and I think that's all a direct result of getting sober.
Jamie Lee Curtis |
| Jamie Lee Curtis | I think happiness comes from self-acceptance. We all try different things, and we find some comfortable sense of who we are. We look at our parents and learn and grow and move on. We change.
Jamie Lee Curtis |
| Jamie Zawinski | I don't get much sense of reward from having discovered how to get the Foo card to coexist with the Bar card.
Jamie Zawinski |
| Jamie Zawinski | On the other hand, there would be some value in different folks getting together to share expertise and technology; but to the listener, it wouldn't necessarily seem like a single station in the traditional sense.
Jamie Zawinski |
| Jan Egeland | I think the biggest challenge for Somalia has been the sense that it is a hopeless case of incomprehensible internal conflicts and there is nothing we can do.
Jan Egeland |
| Jane Howard | Parents, however old they and we may grow to be, serve among other things to shield us from a sense of our doom. As long as they are around, we can avoid the fact of our mortality; we can still be innocent children.
Jane Howard |
| Jane Roberts | To make sense to us as physical creatures, any 'truth' must undergo transformations, be couched in certain terms or we couldn't understand it.
Jane Roberts |
| Janet Suzman | Jews have had to carry around their own sense of self in a carpet bag and I think perhaps too much emphasis might be being put on nationality and on the other hand patriotism, that sort of thing.
Janet Suzman |
| Janet Suzman | OK, well maybe I have to get back to Judaism. In the sense that if I look at me and my forebears forever stretching back to I don't know, whenever there's no sense of place and therefore no sense of nationality.
Janet Suzman |
| Janis Karpinski | After they killed Uday and Qusay, the focus centered on Saddam: Find him, kill him, capture him, whatever it takes. To me, it was a false sense of security: If we get Saddam, we're going to win this war.
Janis Karpinski |
