| �Always speak the truth�think before you speak�and write it down afterwards.� [the Red Queen] (Through the Looking Glass)
� 'Contrariwise,' continued Tweedle dee, 'if it was so, it might be, and if it were so, it would be; but as it isn't, it ain't. That's logic!' � (Alice Through the Looking Glass) �I can't go back to yesterday, because I was a different person then.� �I have had prayers answered--most strangely so sometimes--but I think our heavenly Father's loving-kindness has been more evident in what He has refused me.� �If everyone minded their own business�the world would go round a deal faster than it does.� [the Dutchess, Alice�s Adventures in Wonderland] �I�m very brave, generally�only today I happen to have a headache.� [Through the Looking Glass] � 'In my youth,' said his father, 'I took to the law, And argued each case with my wife; And the muscular strength which it gave to my jaw Has lasted the rest of my life.' � �It's a poor sort of memory that only works backwards.� �One day Alice came to a fork in the road and saw a Cheshire cat in a tree. �Which road do I take?� she asked. �Where do you want to go?� was his response. �I don't know,� Alice answered. �Then, said the cat, it doesn't matter.� " �Sentence first, verdict afterwards.� �Take care of the sense and the sounds will take care of themselves.� �When I use a word, it means just what I choose it to mean--neither more nor less.� �Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.� � 'Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?' 'That depends a good deal on where you want to get to,' said the Cat.� (Alice Through the Looking Glass) |
