“Very true,” said the Duchess: “flamingoes and mustard both bite. And the moral of that is--’Birds of a feather flock together.’”
“Only mustard isn’t a bird,” Alice remarked.
“Right, as usual,” said the Duchess: “what a clear way you have of putting things!”
“It’s a mineral, I think,” said Alice.
“Of course it is,” said the Duchess, who seemed ready to agree to everything that Alice said; “there’s a large mustard-mine near here. And the moral of that is--”The more there is of mine, the less there is of yours.’ "
“Oh, I know!” exclaimed Alice, who had not attended to this last remark. “It’s a vegetable. It doesn’t look like one, but it is.”
“I quite agree with you,” said the Duchess; “and the moral of that is--”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 have been was not otherwise than what you had been would have appeared to them to be otherwise.’” In Alice in Wonderland
