| Joseph Conrad |  He who wants to persuade should put his trust not in the right argument, but in the right word. The power of sound has always been greater than the power of sense.
Joseph Conrad |
| Joseph de Maistre | We are tainted by modern philosophy which has taught us that all is good, whereas evil has polluted everything and in a very real sense all is evil, since nothing is in its proper place.
Joseph de Maistre |
| Joseph Joubert | The Bible remained for me a book of books, still divine - but divine in the sense that all great books are divine which teach men how to live righteously.
Joseph Joubert |
| Joseph L. Mankiewicz | The difference between life and the movies is that a script has to make sense, and life doesn't.
Joseph L. Mankiewicz |
| Joseph Priestley | As we read the school reports on our children, we realize a sense of relief that can rise to delight that thank Heaven nobody is reporting in this fashion on us.
Joseph Priestley |
| Josh Billings | Common sense is instinct, and enough of it is genius.
Josh Billings |
| Josh Billings | Common sense is the knack of seeing things as they are, and doing things as they ought to be done.
Josh Billings |
| Josh Billings | Genius ain't anything more than elegant common sense.
Josh Billings |
| Josh Lucas | When I was on that boat, I realized the only way I would feel creatively challenged was if I totally changed everything about my environment and put myself in a storm, in a sense.
Josh Lucas |
| Joshua Leonard | Even in the realest American cinema that I see, there's still not that sense that this is reality. There's still that sense that you are watching a movie. And hopefully, if we did get our jobs right, that sense disappears when you watch this movie.
Joshua Leonard |
| Josiah Royce | We seek true individuality and the true individuals. But we find them not. For lo, we mortals see what our poor eyes can see; and they, the true individuals, - they belong not to this world of our merely human sense and thought.
Josiah Royce |
| Joyce Appleby | Our sense of worth, of well-being, even our sanity depends upon our remembering. But, alas, our sense of worth, our well-being, our sanity also depend upon our forgetting.
Joyce Appleby |
| Juan Cole | But September 11 marked a big change in the sense that the public was suddenly interested, and as a professor at a public university I felt a responsibility to respond to all of the inquiries about the Islamic world.
Juan Cole |
| Juan Goytisolo | For a country is not merely a piece of earth; it is, above all, a compendium of social, cultural, and historical factors which begin to acquire sense and order through the process of writing.
Juan Goytisolo |
| Judd Nelson | I love the rehearsal process in the theatre, and the visceral sense of contact and communication with a live audience.
Judd Nelson |
| Judy Garland | I think there's something peculiar about me that I haven't died. It doesn't make sense but I refuse to die.
Judy Garland |
| Juice Newton | And I think that we're more of an alternative act in that sense, and that flavor comes across to the audience.
Juice Newton |
| Juice Newton | Songs like the Buck Owens tune, for example, are very simple and straightforward, and recording it really gave me a chance to get into and get a sense of Buck's personality, a feel for that whole Bakersfield sound.
Juice Newton |
| Julia Ormond | I feel that David took a risk with me. I have a sense that by starting off in the theatre and going off to do films you are seen to sell out in some way. I don't hold truck with that, but you can't stop people from feeling it.
Julia Ormond |
| Julian Casablancas | Vanity can easily overtake wisdom. It usually overtakes common sense.
