Local Property Tax

Famous quotes containing the words local, property and/or tax:

“To see ourselves as others see us can be eye-opening. To see others as sharing a nature with ourselves is the merest decency. But it is from the far more difficult achievement of seeing ourselves amongst others, as a local example of the forms human life has locally taken, a case among cases, a world among worlds, that the largeness of mind, without which objectivity is self- congratulation and tolerance a sham, comes.”
—Clifford Geertz (b. 1926)

“No man acquires property without acquiring with it a little arithmetic, also.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“To tax and to please, no more than to love and to be wise, is not given to men.”
—Edmund Burke (1729–1797)
