List of voters for the quote

We often hear that nothing is certain in this world, except Death and Taxes. This line was written more than 120 years ago by Benjamin Franklin, in his letter (dated November 13, 1789) to fellow scientist friend Jean-Baptiste Leroy. Benjamin Franklin wrote in French: “….dans ce monde, il n’y a rien d’assure que la mort et les impôts.” This can be translated as “….in this world, nothing is certain except death and taxes.” It's really amazing that the statement by Benjamin Franklin is still valid, well-accepted and so well-utilized even today, more than 120 years later.
