Famous quotes containing the words tax and/or paid:
“I find nothing healthful or exalting in the smooth conventions of society. I do not like the close air of saloons. I begin to suspect myself to be a prisoner, though treated with all this courtesy and luxury. I pay a destructive tax in my conformity.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Nothing begins, and nothing ends,
That is not paid with moan,
For we are born in other’s pain,
And perish in our own.”
—Francis Thompson (1859–1907)
