Who belongs to the community of the commonly protected?
- Egyptian
- |
- Nov 07, 2020

Water is commonly regarded as the 'solvent of life,' since our bodies are 70% water. All other vertebrates, invertebrates, microbes, and plants are also primarily water.

- Nov 07, 2020

- |
- Nov 07, 2020

If left untreated, Lyme disease can be crippling, yet it is a difficult illness to contract: a tick needs to attach itself to your body for at least twenty-four hours. Even then, two weeks worth of commonly prescribed antibiotics will kill the bacterium.

Mental health can be just as important as physical health - and major depression is one of the most commonly diagnosed mental illnesses.

One of the most obvious reasons to start using timber rather than concrete is that it's the one commonly grown and therefore exceptionally renewable building material that we have available to us. And it acts as storage for carbon dioxide.

- |

It is plain to me that our prelates, in granting indulgences, do commonly blaspheme the wisdom of God.

Sincerity is like traveling on a plain, beaten road, which commonly brings a man sooner to his journey's end than by-ways, in which men often lose themselves.
- Education
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It's commonly said that people who've been ill in childhood and who've had an upset education never really regret that they do. It means that you don't look at the world in the way that other people do, and if you were inclined to be a writer, that's a help.
- May
- |
- Nov 07, 2020

- Care
- |
- Nov 07, 2020

- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It is not a very difficult task to make what is commonly called an amusing book of travels. Any one who will tell, with a reasonable degree of graphic effect, what he has seen, will not fail to carry the reader with him; for the interest we all feel in personal adventure is, of itself, success.
- History
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Going back into the history of a word, very often into Latin, we come back pretty commonly to pictures or models of how things happen or are done.
- Look
- |
- Nov 07, 2020

Historically, there has been a gap between single-purpose racecars and street-legal models - commonly called supercars - that emulate the real racers on the road.
- Discriminatory
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'm actually all for political correctness. If you want to work to change the usage of a word that's discriminatory then fine, I'm behind you. But that's a conversation that needs to be had in the culture. You can't just decide that commonly used parts of a language are evil and that the people who didn't get the memo must be bad people.

Write down the thoughts of the moment. Those that come unsought for are commonly the most valuable.

- Buffalo
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
From the Bronx to Buffalo, cities and towns in New York have been plagued by what are commonly called zombie properties. These are homes that residents abandon - often after they have received a foreclosure notice - which then languish, uncared-for, until the foreclosure process is complete.
- He
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It is commonly said that a teacher fails if he has not been surpassed by his students. There has been no failure on our part in this regard considering how far they have gone.
- Frail
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
What child has ever known the country and has not twined hundreds of fragrant wreaths with the yellow shining cowslip and the more frail and delicate violet - mingling here and there green leaves culled from the odorous eglantine, or, as we more commonly call it, sweetbriar.
- Like
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
So I'm not a Southern writer in the commonly held sense of the term, like Faulkner or Eudora Welty, who took the South for their entire literary environment and subject matter.
- Earth
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
We go up just into space - space is most commonly accepted to be 100 kilometres above the earth's surface, and we go up just beyond that to about 350,000 ft.
- Political
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
And let me take one of the explanations most commonly given: Analysts were pressured to reach conclusions that would fit the political agenda of one or another administration. I deeply think that is a wrong explanation.
- History
- |
- Nov 07, 2020

- |

But the way people commonly use the word nowadays it means something all of whose parts are mutually interdependent - not only for their mutual action, but for their meaning and for their existence.
- Enjoy
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
One of my favorite activities as a priesthood leader is visiting members of the Church in their homes. I especially enjoy calling upon and talking with members who commonly are described as 'less active.'
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
These are ideas. I could say that they just came to me, but it would be more accurate to say that I went to them. Ideas - and new connections between ideas - lead you away from commonly held perceptions of reality. Ideas lead you out here. Ideas lead you into the darkness.
- Money
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
People typically only believe they're in a negotiation when dollars are involved. And maybe sometimes they're smart enough to see if there's a commodity that you can count being exchanged. And, of course, the commodity that we most commonly exchange is money.
- Nov 07, 2020
Fortune has something of the nature of a woman. If she is too intensely wooed, she commonly goes the further away.

In valley drift we meet commonly with the bones of quadrupeds which graze on plains bordering rivers.
- Plant
- |

- Children
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Working moms commonly testify that they feel guilty when they are away from their children and guilty when they are not at their jobs. Devoted fathers certainly miss their children deeply, but it does not seem to be with the same gnawing, primal anxiety that often afflicts women.
- Politics
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
If politics and business fail us, of course the military will be called in. In the developing world, the massive and repeated ecological disasters are quite commonly met by the military.

- |
- Nov 07, 2020
A woman, the more curious she is about her face, is commonly the more careless about her house.
- Good
- |
- Nov 07, 2020

- Beast
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
In my travels, which have been wider than ever man yet accomplished, I have seen many, many wild beasts of Arabia and India; but this beast, that is commonly called a Tyrant, I know not how many heads it has, nor if it be crooked of claw, and armed with horrible fangs.

- Crime
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Anyone who says, 'Books don't change anything,' or - more commonly - that crime fiction is the wrong genre for promoting social change - should take a closer look.
- Most
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Very few parents keep up with who the top professors are or whose classes their kids are taking, partially because most undergraduates interact more commonly with graduate students.
- Family
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Several companies have explicit policies against cronyism, with good reason. Hiring a family member simply for a relationship can be troubling and may not necessarily serve a company's interests. But by and large, financial firms in particular commonly hire people who have certain connections, whether through family or a business relationship.
- Challenge
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Yes, every venture is always filled with apprehensions. But if we were to conduct ourselves continuously on that aspect, then we would lose the most important reason to be in this profession: to challenge the art of and be part of what is commonly known as our creative instincts.

- |
