Famous quotes containing the words tax, persons and/or entities:

    What is the difference between a taxidermist and a tax collector? The taxidermist takes only your skin.
    Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    I am happy to find you are on good terms with your neighbors. It is almost the most important circumstance in life, since nothing is so corroding as frequently to meet persons with whom one has any difference.
    Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)

    What are you now? If we could touch one another,
    if these our separate entities could come to grips,
    clenched like a Chinese puzzle . . . yesterday
    I stood in a crowded street that was live with people,
    and no one spoke a word, and the morning shone.
    Everyone silent, moving. . . . Take my hand. Speak to me.
    Muriel Rukeyser (1913–1980)
