Inheritance taxes are so high that the happiest mourner at a rich man's funeral is usually Uncle Sam.
Richard Miller
Image
Inheritance Tax - it is, broadly speaking a voluntary levy paid by those who distrust their heirs more than they dislike the Inland Revenue
Roy Jenkins
Image
It is the will of God that we live not only as rational beings, but as new men regenerated by the Holy Spirit in Christ. It is His will that we reach out for our inheritance, that we answer His call to be His sons. We are born men without our consent, but the consent to be sons of God has to be elicited by our own free will.
Thomas Merton
Image
I believe in a graduated income tax on big fortunes, and in . . . a graduated inheritance tax on big fortunes, . . . increasing rapidly in amount with the size of the estate.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
In the cross-over, you get to a point where you realize that you've got all this genetic inheritance, and you've got all this social conditioning, but there is a point where you do have to make a choice, and that's the optimist in me: you have the freedom to make a choice about how you are going to be, and what you're going to do.
Irvine Welsh
Image
Love is the human family’s most precious legacy. Its richest bequest. Its golden inheritance.
Michael Jackson
Image
The legacy of heroes is the memory of a great name and the inheritance of a great example.
Benjamin Disraeli
Image
The right of commanding is no longer an advantage transmitted by nature like an inheritance, it is the fruit of labors, the price of courage.
Voltaire
Image
Justification is the truly dramatic transition from the status of a condemned criminal awaiting a terrible sentence to that of an heir awaiting a fabulous inheritance.
J. I. Packer
Image
The estate tax punishes years of hard work and robs families of part of their heritage by imposing a huge penalty on inheritance after death - a tax on money that has already been taxed.
Mike Fitzpatrick
Image
An acceptance of your cultural inheritance, and at the same time a dislike of it, is a building block of good art.
Carey Mercer
Image
Of course, I have a different vested interest in the gay community, because I am gay, and I would certainly enjoy the tax advantages that straight people have, and the inheritance advantages, and things like Social Security, but I've always been a civil rights advocate across the board. That's how I was raised.
Janis Ian
Image
Verily has man freewill to control his actions. That my Father-Mother has given to man as his inheritance. But the control of the ractions to those actions man has never had. This my Father-Mother holds inviolate. These cannot become man's except through modifying his actions until the reactions are their exact equal and opposite in equilibrium.
Walter Russell
Image
It is the high privilege and sacred duty of those now living to educate their successors and fit them, by intelligence and virtue, for the inheritance which awaits them.
James A. Garfield
Image
It was the ideal of living in Eretz Yisrael that took me out of my house, out of my country and caused me to travel from my place. I left my house I repudiated my inheritance...Why? Because I wished to travel to the bosom of my mother, Eretz Yisrael.
Nahmanides
Image
Someday all the children of the world will learn the truth about their noble inheritance. When that happens, a miracle will unfold on the kingdom of Earth.
Charlene Costanzo
Image
The blood of Abraham, God's father of the chosen, still flows in the veins of Arab, Jew, and Christian, and too much of it has been spilled in grasping for the inheritance of the revered patriarch in the Middle East. The spilled blood in the Holy Land still cries out to God--an anguished cry for peace.
Jimmy Carter
Image
I don't see why a man shouldn't pay an inheritance tax. If a Country is good enough to pay taxes to while you are living, it's good enough to pay in after you die. By the time you die you should be so used to paying taxes that it would just be almost second nature to you.
Will Rogers
Image
I don’t know who my parents were. I know nothing about my inheritance. I could be Jewish I could be part Negro I could be Irish I could be Russian. I am spiritually a mix anyway, but I did have a solid childhood fortunately, because of some wonderful women who brought me up. I never had a father or a man in the house, and that was a loss...
James A. Michener
Image
The world is an abundant place. Abundant with opportunity, abundant with good fortune, abundant with ideas, and abundant with love. Reach into that abundance and take what is rightfully yours. It is your inheritance, gifted to you by God. Let yourself have it.
Neale Donald Walsch
Image
It is much simpler and easier to collect and caress the trophies of our democratic inheritance than it is to fashion up-to-date tools with which to work on our current problems.
Charles Ferguson
Image
To make an epoch in the world, two conditions are manifestly essential-a good head and a great inheritance.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
Get a sales tax, small on necessities and large on luxuries then a stiff inheritance tax on the fellow that saves and don't spend. That will get him either way. A tax paid on the day you buy is not as tough as asking you for it the next year when you are broke.
Will Rogers
Image
I believe that we have more capability than any other creature to control our biological inheritance - and we do so most of the time.
Jane Goodall
