Famous quotes containing the words tax and/or numbers:
“...many tax collectors and sinners were also sitting with Jesus.”
—Bible: New Testament, Mark 2:15.
“He bundles every forkful in its place,
And tags and numbers it for future reference,
So he can find and easily dislodge it
In the unloading. Silas does that well.
He takes it out in bunches like birds’ nests.”
