Good Sense is, of all things among men, the most equally distributed; for every one thinks himself so abundantly provided with it, that those even who are the most difficult to satisfy in everything else, do not usually desire a larger measure of this quality than they already possess.

IC 2391 (Wikipedia) IC 2391 (also known as the Omicron Velorum Cluster or Caldwell 85) is an open cluster in the constellation Vela consisting of hot, young, blueish stars, some of which binaries and one of which is a quadruple. Persian astronomer A. a.-R. al-Sufi first described it as “a nebulous star” in c. 964. It was re-found by Abbe Lacaille and cataloged as Lac II 5.
