tax notes Volume 118, Number 1 January 7, 2008 s p e c i a l s u p p l e m e n t Tax Partner Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman LLP As Certain as Death — Quotations About Taxes (2008 Edition) Compiled and Arranged by Jeffery L. Yablon Jeffery L. Yablon is a partner in the Washington, D.C., office of Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman LLP. Containing 1,371 quotations, this is an expansion of seven prior collections published in Tax Notes over the last 14 years. As before, to provide organization the collection is divided into eight somewhat arbitrary and overlapping categories. No claim of completeness is made. For a variety of reasons, many quotations were considered but not included. Thanks to Eileen Brownell, Terry Cuff, Jeff Gottlieb, Eric M. Green, Eric R. LoPresti, Sue Mills, Jody Robinson, Allan Sloan, Lynn Soukup, Jeff Vesely, Bob Wells, and Steve Zisser for their help in finding quotations and/or otherwise supporting this project. Thanks also to Cory Bingaman, who provided outstanding secretarial assistance and skillfully created and manipulated the computerized database. And very special thanks to Jean L. Yablon. Interested Tax Notes readers are invited to send additional quotes for possible inclusion in a future edition to Jeffery L. Yablon, c/o Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman LLP, 2300 N Street NW, Washington, DC 20037 or via email to
