Extension Ladder

Famous quotes containing the words extension and/or ladder:

    Where there is reverence there is fear, but there is not reverence everywhere that there is fear, because fear presumably has a wider extension than reverence.
    Socrates (469–399 B.C.)

    But ‘tis a common proof
    That lowliness is young ambition’s ladder,
    Whereto the climber-upward turns his face;
    But when he once attains the upmost round
    He then unto the ladder turns his back,
    Looks in the clouds, scorning the base degrees
    By which he did ascend.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
