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 new statement is always hated by the old, and, to those dwelling in the old, comes like an abyss of skepticism.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The new statement will comprise the skepticisms, as well as the faiths of society, and out of unbeliefs a creed shall be formed. For, skepticisms are not gratuitous or lawless, but are limitations of the affirmative statement, and the new philosophy must take them in, and make affirmations outside of them, just as much as must include the oldest beliefs.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Eroticism has its own moral justification because it says that pleasure is enough for me; it is a statement of the individual’s sovereignty.”
—Mario Vargas Llosa (b. 1936)
