Quote by Victor Hugo

Common sense is in spite of, not the result of, education.

Common sense is in spite of, not the result of, education.

Summary

This quote suggests that common sense is not a product of one's education, but rather it exists independent of it. It implies that individuals possess a certain practical understanding and wisdom that is not necessarily obtained through formal education, but rather developed through experiences, intuition, and innate intelligence. In other words, common sense is innate and can often prevail even in the absence of formal education.

I hear of a convention to be held at Baltimore, or elsewhere

I hear of a convention to be held at Baltimore, or elsewhere, for the selection of a candidate for the Presidency, made up chiefly of editors, and men who are politicians by profession; but I think, what is it to any independent, intellegent, and respectable man what decision they may come to? Shall we not have the advantage of his wisdom and honesty, nevertheless? Can we not count upon some independent votes? Are there not many individuals in the country who do not attend conventions? But no: I find that the respectable man, so called, has immediately drifted from his position, and despairs of his country, when his country has more reason to despair of him. He forthwith adopts one of the candidates thus selected as his only AVAILABLE one, thus proving that he is himself AVAILABLE for any purposes of the demagogue. His vote is of no more worth than that of any unprincipled foreigner or hireling native, who may have been bought.
