Lewis Carroll Quote - Liberty Quotes Blog

"Contrariwise", continued Tweedledee,
"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."

Reader comments about this quote:

Speaking of logic, is it logical that a government which can't manage the "clunker" program, should be allowed to completely manage the nations sick care ? I doubt it. As Nancy Reagan once said, just say no. -- jim k, Austin, Tx 2
Jim, it's very difficult to imagine a "logical" government these days. -- cal, lewisville, tx 1

Funny! If only our Congress were as smart as Tweedledee and Tweddledum... or even the electorate. -- E Archer, NYC 1

Cute serious philosophy! -- Elisabeth, Astoria, NY
