Head Tax

Famous quotes containing the words head and/or tax:

    Each work of art excludes the world, concentrates attention on itself. For the time it is the only thing worth doing—to do just that; be it a sonnet, a statue, a landscape, an outline head of Caesar, or an oration. Presently we return to the sight of another that globes itself into a whole as did the first, for example, a beautiful garden; and nothing seems worth doing in life but laying out a garden.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    ...many tax collectors and sinners were also sitting with Jesus.
    Bible: New Testament, Mark 2:15.
