Words Are Not Pebbles In

We Prate Of Freedom; We Are In Deadly Fear Of Life, As Much Of Our Own American Scene Betrays.

A Self-made Man May Prefer A Self-made Name.

Anyone May Arrange His Affairs So That His Taxes Shall Be As Low As Possible; He Is Not Bound To Choose That Pattern Which Best Pays The Treasury. There Is Not Even A Patriotic Duty To Increase One's Taxes. Over And Over Again The Courts Have Said That There Is Nothing Sinister In So Arranging Affairs As To Keep Taxes As Low As Possible. Everyone Does It, Rich And Poor Alike And All Do Right, For Nobody Owes Any Public Duty To Pay More Than The Law Demands.

We Lose The Forest For The Trees, Forgetting, Even So Far As We Think At All, That We Are Trustees For Those Who Come After Us, Squandering The Patrimony Which We Have Received.

There Is Nothing Sinister In So Arranging One's Affairs As To Keep Taxes As Low As Possible.
