Famous quotes containing the words moderate, price and/or point:
“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)
“I sometimes think that the price of liberty is not so much eternal vigilance as eternal dirt.”
—George Orwell (1903–1950)
“The ellipse is as aimless as that,
Stretching invisibly into the future so as to reappear
In our present. Its flexing is its account,
Return to the point of no return.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
