Strongly Inaccessible Cardinal

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

    Delicious essence! how refreshing art thou to nature! how strongly are all its powers and all its weaknesses on thy side! how sweetly dost thou mix with the blood, and help it through the most difficult and tortuous passages to the heart!
    Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)

    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)
