Famous quotes containing the word property:

    A lawyer’s dream of Heaven: Every man reclaimed his own property at the resurrection, and each tried to recover it from all his forefathers.
    Samuel Butler (1835–1902)

    Thieves respect property. They merely wish the property to become their property that they may more perfectly respect it.
    Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)

    By avarice and selfishness, and a groveling habit, from which none of us is free, of regarding the soil as property, or the means of acquiring property chiefly, the landscape is deformed, husbandry is degraded with us, and the farmer leads the meanest of lives. He knows Nature but as a robber.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
