Famous quotes containing the words individual, income, tax and/or act:

    “Self-determination has to mean that the leader is your individual gut, and heart, and mind or we’re talking about power, again, and its rather well-known impurities. Who is really going to care whether you live or die and who is going to know the most intimate motivation for your laughter and your tears is the only person to be trusted to speak for you and to decide what you will or will not do.”
    —June Jordan (b. 1939)

    “The secret of success lies never in the amount of money, but in the relation of income to outgo.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “...many tax collectors and sinners were also sitting with Jesus.”
    —Bible: New Testament, Mark 2:15.

    “Don’t be so ready to defy everybody. Act as if you expected to have your own way, not as if you expected to be ordered about. The way to get on as a lady is the same as the way to get on as a servant: you’ve got to know your place.”
    —George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
