Science is nothing but trained and organized common sense, differing from the latter only as a veteran may differ from a raw recruit and its methods differ from those of common sense only as far as the guardsman's cut and thrust differ from the manner in which a savage wields his club.

It is remarkable that men, when they differ in what they think considerable, are apt to differ in almost everything else... Thus they differ in affection, as they differ in judgement, and the contention which began in pride, ends in anger.

Freedom to differ is not limited to things that do not matter mush. That would be a mere shadow of freedom. The test of its substance is the right to differ as to things that touch the heart of the existing order.

Common sense invents and constructs no less than its own field than science does in its domain. It is, however, in the nature of common sense not to be aware of this situation.

Poet’s is art
An architect visits the Taj Mahal
A historian visits the Taj Mahal.
So do a poet and a farmer.
Their perceptions differ;
Their abstractions differ.
The poet’s is unique in that
He concretizes selectively
And make the abstraction an art.

To be individual, my friends, to be different from others, is the only way to become distinguished from the common herd. Let us be glad, therefore, that we differ from one another in form and in disposition. Variety is the spice of life, and we are various enough to enjoy one another's society; so let us be content.

In 15 years we'll have all the sequence, a list of the genes everyone has in common and those that differ among people. We know only something like a tenth of 1 percent of the sequence at the moment.

Suffer when you differ
Suffer when you differ
Neglect the advice and offers
Love can never be different
It is definitely apparent
It may look as if heavenly sent
But it is blind and its fragrance can be smelt
What is seen and felt is not really true!
You may know it well when passes through
You should know about
Before having any doubt
It is not big issue or deal
Only it has to be felt real
You got to pick the best
As finally it will be your real test
It is better not to suffer
When you opt to differ
It has to be smooth and easy
One can not be that much lazy
It is to be pulled nice way
Journey together to be driven away

A belief not common
What is common in us? This question baffled me most
This had destabilizing effect and was proving fatal at tremendous cost
How was I going to settle it to lead simple and straight life?
It had sharp edge and was tearing me apart as if operated by knife
Why we had different pattern of life and almost lived poles apart
Why did we perform and prayed from different angle and still remained part?
The religion was different still prayed almighty with same zeal and looked apparent
It had same basis, spirit, contents and flow of thought with same current
Mind was occupied with single aim that is to say to attain the salvation
Nothing was different and it remained same for all to live with the situation
Everybody wanted to lead the peaceful life though the approach differed
Human race was to survive still as the inherent mechanism suffered
If God had wanted the same treatment for all, he could have given one color
Why all flowers were created different with almost fascinating fragrance and odor Customs too differ to please the God but aim one to seek blessings
it is still awesome to feel different and cause so much stressing
Race, color, skin may differ but there ma y remain pure soul
Food habits may differ but appetite may not smell foul
World may be divided into continents, regions but surface may remain same
We got to adjust to the scene and to live with the ideals and try to frame
Mother may not act different with her children
The love may flow unconditional and sudden
She may be rejoiced at children’s well being
They may one day attain high position or become kings
Land is same, atmosphere is same with day and night
Some one may interpret it wrong and someone may do it right
The atmosphere may vitiate only when they differ and start to fight
The dark clouds may descend with the disappearance of light
Still we have so many things in common
With little agony and pain, tears may roll on
The blood may come out when there is injury
The common color of blood may increase the fury
We have survived long battle and emerged as victorious
The past to be left behind by us may still be very glorious
We see the same, feel the same and breathe the same air
To fight for nothing is something called as unfair
Let us ignite the passion for humanity
Live and allow others to live with dignity
There is nothing different in the infinity
It is how you believe in fine quality

No harm to fault
Cultures differ with countries
And over centuries.
Virtues differ with countries
And over centuries.
No harm if you have faulted
In culture and virtues.
It might suit somewhere and sometime.
Don’t judge from your culture
The one coming from another culture.

Holiday
Hear the sound of the falling rain
Coming down like an armagedon flame (hey)
The shame
The ones who died without a name
Hear the dogs howling out of key
To a hymn called "faith and misery" (hey)
And bleed
The company lost the war today
I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
On holiday
Hear the drum pounding out of time
Another protester has crossed the line (hey)
To find the moneys on the other side
Can i get another amen? (amen)
There's a flag wrapped around a score of men (hey)
A gag
A plastic bag on a monument
I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
On holiday
hey
The representative from California has the floor:
Zieg heil to the president gasman
Bombs away is your punishment
Pulverize the Eiffel Towers
Who criticize your government
Bang bang goes the broken glass
Kill all the fags that don't agree
Trials by fire setting fire
Is not a way that's meant for me
Just cause
Just cause because we're outlaws YA!
I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
This is our lives on holiday

Soul feels
Its basic concept abut not the idea new,
May differ in ideas but not to ask for renew,
Press for follow up but not for review,
No need to learn and appear for interview,
Idea inherent and need not teach,
No one should think and go for breach,
Confined to self and can within reach,
Well confined thought but not to preach,
Imposing a will may be termed as autocrat,
Cleverly used in same form by beurocrate,
May also be used with brutality on mob irate,
Condemnable but words may be less to narrate,
Yu may think otherwise and differ,
Solutions many and ideas many to offer,
May continue to rage when see the people suffer,
Perception come in fore to act as buffer,
Many may not reconcile and meekly submit,
May be many lapses and but not to permit,
Will be a crucial factor but not earnestly followed,
Given broad approval but strictly not allowed,
Individuals may differ bit has less weight age,
Opinion may air but find no prominence and footage,
When perception gain support and momentum,
Nothing can stop from moving the pendulum
Rome was not built in a day,
Many perished and were kept at bay,
Path was open but foundation stone was to lay,
Concentration of thoughts and more attention to pay,
When seen logic behind the trusted opinion?
Always takes form in formation of union,
Emerge strong voice from far end of oblivion,
There leaves no way to go back to the pavilion,
It is age old theory and shall remain so,
Will follow strong reaction and torture also,
Leaving half way may turn ship in turtle,
Vigorous follow up may earn the title,
Continue to differ is always healthy sign,
One may offer resistance but finally resign,
It may have definite start and concrete result,
Even if turned the idea down may not find insult,
You will find hardly all may like it,
Light may spread when lamp is lit,
Common good may prevail and nobody is hit,
Recognition finally and no tools there to prohibit,
Such is vast concept should be dealt with aptness,
All views taken into account with firm kindness,
Nothing takes away basis right to differ,
Must have reasonableness and no resistance stiffer,
