Common Sense Then and Now

    ‘Mens sane in corpore sano’
      “A sound mind in a healthy body”

     A phrase once fit for the Emperor of Rome
       In America today, the saying hits home

One can't wait to press the button, the other would accidentally press it, thinking it was the TV remote.

A sound mind duplicates into a lot of goodies. It fixes a lot.

I would settle for someone with a sound mind.
