Heck yeah he's still inspirational today. Another quote inspired by his time in jail for refusing to pay a poll/war tax:

If a thousand men were not to pay their tax-bills this year, that would not be a violent and bloody measure, as it would be to pay them, and enable the State to commit violence and shed innocent blood.

Can I get 1000 commitments to stop paying taxes over war? I'll be 1.
