False Tax Returns

Famous quotes containing the words false, tax and/or returns:

    “Rhyme, the rack of finest wits,
    That expresseth but by fits
    True conceit,
    Spoiling senses of their treasure,
    Cozening judgment with a measure,
    But false weight;
    Wresting words from their true calling;
    Propping verse for fear of falling
    To the ground;
    Jointing syllables, drowning letters,
    Fastening vowels, as with fetters
    They were bound!”
    —Ben Jonson (1572–1637)

    “What is the difference between a taxidermist and a tax collector? The taxidermist takes only your skin.”
    —Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    “Only passions, and great passions, can raise the soul to great things. Without them there is no sublimity, either in morals or in creativity. Art returns to infancy, and virtue becomes small- minded.”
    —Denis Diderot (1713–1784)
