McNair, George Hastings
Logic
3. If a man cannot make progress toward perfection, he must either
be a brute or a divinity; but no man is either; therefore every
man is capable of such progress. Fowler.
4. If education is popular, compulsion is unnecessary; if unpopular,
compulsion will not be tolerated. Fowler.
5. If you are to recover from this illness, then you will. If you
are not to recover, then you will not, hence what is the use of
calling in a physician?
6. If your act was right, your conscience will approve it; if wrong,
your conscience will prick you. Either your act was right or
wrong, so you can depend upon your conscience.
7. If he is intoxicated then he is not responsible, but he acts like
a sober man.
8. If the Elixir of Life is of any value, those who take it will
improve in health; now my friend who has been taking it has
improved in health, and therefore the elixir is of value as a
curative agent. Hyslop.
9. If you will settle down to business, you may still win out,
because I am confident it is not too late for hard work to be
effective.
10. If the end justifies the means then money used for any object of
charity may be secured in any way.
11. If might is right then money talks, but I find that occasionally
money proves ineffective.
12. If the majority of those who use public houses are prepared
to close them, legislation is unnecessary, but if they are not
prepared for such a measure, then to force it on them by outside
pressure is both dangerous and unjust. Hyslop.
13. If the conscience is infallible in matters of right and wrong,
then sin is just one thing; namely, doing that which is contrary
to one’s conscience. We believe that an educated conscience is
infallible.
14. If the earth were of equal density throughout, it would be about
2½ times as dense as water; but it is about 5½ times as dense;
therefore the earth must be of unequal density. Hyslop.
15. The end of human life is either perfection or happiness; death
is the end of human life, therefore death is either perfection
or happiness. Creighton.
16. That chauffeur either lost his head or was drunk because no sane
man would deliberately run down an innocent child.
17. If you argue on a subject which you do not understand, you will
prove yourself a fool; for this is a mistake which fools always
make. Keynes.
18. If you are a man of your word, you will live up to your
agreement, or if you have any self respect, you will do the manly
thing. Now your neighbors tell me that you are a man in the habit
of making good your promises.
