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)

    One must not make oneself cheap here—that is a cardinal point—or else one is done. Whoever is most impertinent has the best chance.
    Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756–1791)

    It’s an old axiom of mine: marry your enemies and behead your friends.
    —Robert N. Lee. Rowland V. Lee. King Edward IV (Ian Hunter)
