Famous quotes containing the words capital, gains and/or tax:
“We saw the machinery where murderers are now executed. Seven have been executed. The plan is better than the old one. It is quietly done. Only a few, at the most about thirty or forty, can witness [an execution]. It excites nobody outside of the list permitted to attend. I think the time for capital punishment has passed. I would abolish it. But while it lasts this is the best mode.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“He gains everyone’s approval who mixes the pleasant with the useful.”
—Horace [Quintus Horatius Flaccus] (65–8 B.C.)
