Addison/people

Famous quotes containing the words addison and/or people:

    Musick is certainly a very agreeable Entertainment, but if it would take the entire Possession of our Ears, if it would make us incapable of hearing Sense, if it would exclude Arts that have a much greater Tendency to the Refinement of human Nature; I must confess I would allow it no better Quarter than Plato has done, who banishes it out of his Common-wealth.
    —Joseph Addison (1672–1719)

    We don’t pay taxes. Only the little people pay taxes.
    Leona Helmsley (b. 1920)
