Josh - Famous Conditionals

Seeing that we have been learning how to make conditional sentences this week, I thought I would share some famous conditional sentences from history with you:


"If you're willing to fail interestingly, you tend to succeed interestingly." - Edward Albee

"If you limit your actions in life to things that nobody can possibly find fault with, you will not do much!" - Lewis Caroll

"If there is no struggle, there is no progress." - Frederick Douglass

"If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything." Mark Twain

"If you live long enough, you'll see that every victory turns into a defeat." - Simone de Beauvoir

"If the young knew and the old could, then there is nothing that couldn't be done." - Italian Proverb

"If you don't swing, don't ring." - Hugh Hefner (in words he had inscribed on the front door of the Playboy Mansion.)

"If you don't practice, you don't deserve to dream." - Andre Agassi

"If it wasn't for baseball, I'd be in either the penitentiary or the cemetary."  - Babe Ruth

"If we had no faults, we should not take so much pleasure in noticing them in others." - François de la Rochefoucauld

"If life were fair, Elvis would be alive and all the impersonators would be dead." - Johnny Carson
