Famous quotes containing the words war, income, tax and/or individuals:

    “Nietzsche, to the end of his days, remained a Russian pastor’s son, and hence two-thirds of a Puritan; he erected his war upon holiness, toward the end, into a sort of holy war.”
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)

    “I had always been so much taken with the way all English people I knew always were going to see their lawyer. Even if they have no income and do not earn anything they always have a lawyer.”
    —Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)

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

    “The people needed to be rehoused, but I feel disgusted and depressed when I see how they have done it. It did not suit the planners to think how they might deal with the community, or the individuals that made up the community. All they could think was, “Sweep it away!” The bureaucrats put their heads together, and if anyone had told them, “A community is people,” they would not have known what they were on about.”
    —May Hobbs (b. 1938)
