book reading wonderland
'What is the use of a book', thought Alice, 'without pictures or conversations?'
writing trials letters
I have proved by actual trial that a letter, that takes an hour to write, takes only about 3 minutes to read!
respect laughter exercise
While the laughter of joy is in full harmony with our deeper life, the laughter of amusement should be kept apart from it. The danger is too great of thus learning to look at solemn things in a spirit of mockery, and to seek in them opportunities for exercising wit.
inspirational dance stars
There comes a pause, for human strength will not endure to dance without cessation; and everyone must reach the point at length of absolute prostration.
imagination identity might
Be what you would seem to be - or, if you'd like it put more simply - never imagine yourself not to be otherwise than what it might appear to others that what you were or might have been was not otherwise than what you had been would have appeared to them to be otherwise.
horse fall sides
Whenever the horse stopped (which it did very often), he fell off in front; and, whenever it went on again (which it generally did rather suddenly), he fell off behind. Otherwise he kept on pretty well, except that he had a habit of now and then falling off sideways; and, as he generally did this on the side on which Alice was walking, she soon found that it was the best plan not to walk quite close to the horse.
jam through-the-looking-glass synchronicity
It's jam every other day: to-day isn't any other day, you know.
self stupidity irritated
When I come upon anything-in Logic or in any other hard subject-that entirely puzzles me, I find it a capital plan to talk it over, aloud, even when I am all alone. One can explain things so clearly to one's self! And then, you know, one is so patient with one's self: one never gets irritated at one's own stupidity!
inspirational queens believe
Alice laughed. 'There's no use trying,' she said. 'One can't believe impossible things.' I daresay you haven't had much practice,' said the Queen. 'When I was your age, I always did it for half-an-hour a day. Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast. There goes the shawl again!
mind world hardest
One of the hardest things in the world is to convey a meaning accurately from one mind to another.
leadership
You can't be that good; you work for me.
too-late said late
It's too late to correct it: when you've once said a thing, that fixes it, and you must take the consequences.
men letters magnitude
Magnitudes are algebraically represented by letter, men by men of letters, and so on.
honesty may want
You may charge me with murder--or want of sense-- (We are all of us weak at times): But the slightest approach to a false pretence Was never among my crimes!
