Famous quotes containing the word compare:
“In considering the ledger equal, understand the greatest gift you have given your parents is the opportunity to raise you.

Only by experiencing this can you understand the degree to which children give meaning to parents’ lives.”
—Frank Pittman (20th century)

Compare the amount paid by millionaires with the amount paid by ordinary citizens. I believe that in proportion to their estates they pay less than half as much as ordinary citizens, whereas they ought to pay more.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
