Famous quotes containing the words amount and/or bet:
“Is this not true—That in proportion to the value of their estates the extremely wealthy pay far less taxes than those of moderate means? Compare the amount paid by millionaires with the amount paid by ordinary citizens. I believe that in proportion to their estates they pay less than half as much as ordinary citizens, whereas they ought to pay more.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“What is faith but a kind of betting or speculation after all? It should be, “I bet that my Redeemer liveth.””
