Famous quotes containing the words pay and/or tax:
“Few parents nowadays pay any regard to what their children say to them. The old-fashioned respect for the young is fast dying out.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
“Parents are used to being made to feel guilty about...their contribution to the population problem, the school tax burden, and declining test scores. They expect to be blamed by teachers and psychologists, if not by police. And they will be blamed by the children themselves. It is hardy a wonder, then, that they withdraw into what used to be called “permissiveness” but is really neglect.”
—C. John Sommerville (20th century)
