Famous quotes containing the words tax and/or returns:
“In other words, a democratic government is the only one in which those who vote for a tax can escape the obligation to pay it.”

“Dear, why should you command me to my rest,
When now the night doth summon all to sleep?
Methinks this time becometh lovers best;
Night was ordained together friends to keep.
How happy are all other living things,
Which though the day disjoin by several flight,
The quiet evening yet together brings,
And each returns unto his love at night.”
—Michael Drayton (1563–1631)
