Is where I am going to collect answers and comments.

I will lead into it in various ways .... here is one:

----------------------------
who said "... in this world nothing nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes."?

Ben Franklin
Shakespeare
Jesus Christ
Mark Twain

I hope I have the commas right, for Lloyd's sake.

Jim Johnson

The certainty of this uncertain.

"This is usually attributed to Benjamin Franklin, who wrote in a 1789 letter that "Our new Constitution is now established, and has an appearance that promises permanency; but in this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes." However, The Yale Book of Quotations quotes "'Tis impossible to be sure of any thing but Death and Taxes," from Christopher Bullock, The Cobler of Preston (1716). The YBQ also quotes "Death and Taxes, they are certain," from Edward Ward, The Dancing Devils (1724)."
