Famous quotes containing the words table of, table, cardinal and/or vowels:

    Remember thee?
    Ay, thou poor ghost, whiles memory holds a seat
    In this distracted globe. Remember thee?
    Yea, from the table of my memory
    I’ll wipe away all trivial fond records,
    All saws of books, all forms, all pressures past
    That youth and observation copied there,
    And thy commandment all alone shall live
    Within the book and volume of my brain,
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    They were not on the table with their elbows.
    They were not sleeping in the shelves of bunks.
    I saw no men there and no bones of men there.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    One must not make oneself cheap here—that is a cardinal point—or else one is done. Whoever is most impertinent has the best chance.
    Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756–1791)

    These equal syllables alone require,
    Though oft the ear the open vowels tire;
    Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
