All truth, in the long run, is only common sense clarified.

Summary

This quote suggests that truth is ultimately derived from common sense, but it may require clarification and deeper understanding to fully comprehend. It implies that the core principles of truth are not necessarily complex or abstract, but rather rooted in basic logic and reasoning that can be readily understood by most individuals. However, attaining a clear and comprehensive understanding of truth often entails unraveling complexities and acquiring deeper insights through analysis and exploration. Thus, the quote emphasizes the idea that truth, while grounded in common sense, may require clarification and refinement to fully comprehend its essence.
