Statement
The axiom can be expressed in various ways which are equivalent:
- "Weak" form: Every class of nonempty sets has a choice function.
- V \ { ∅ } has a choice function (where V is the class of all sets; see Von Neumann universe).
- There is a well-ordering of V.
- There is a bijection between V and the class of all ordinal numbers.

Famous quotes containing the word statement:
“The parent is the strongest statement that the child hears regarding what it means to be alive and real. More than what we say or do, the way we are expresses what we think it means to be alive. So the articulate parent is less a telling than a listening individual.”
—Polly Berrien Berends (20th century)
“The honor my country shall never be stained by an apology from me for the statement of truth and the performance of duty; nor can I give any explanation of my official acts except such as is due to integrity and justice and consistent with the principles on which our institutions have been framed.”
—Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)
“It is commonplace that a problem stated is well on its way to solution, for statement of the nature of a problem signifies that the underlying quality is being transformed into determinate distinctions of terms and relations or has become an object of articulate thought.”
—John Dewey (1859–1952)
