Set Amount

Famous quotes containing the words set and/or amount:

    I grew wild
    Even accusing Heaven because
    It had set down among its laws:
    Nothing that we love over-much
    Is ponderable to our touch.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    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)
