Inaccessible Cardinal Axiom

Famous quotes containing the words inaccessible, cardinal and/or axiom:

    The knowledge of an unlearned man is living and luxuriant like a forest, but covered with mosses and lichens and for the most part inaccessible and going to waste; the knowledge of the man of science is like timber collected in yards for public works, which still supports a green sprout here and there, but even this is liable to dry rot.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    The Cardinal is at his wit’s end—it is true that he had not far to go.
    George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    The writer who neglects punctuation, or mispunctuates, is liable to be misunderstood.... For the want of merely a comma, it often occurs that an axiom appears a paradox, or that a sarcasm is converted into a sermonoid.
    Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1845)
