Famous quotes containing the word property:
“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)
“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)
“Things have their laws, as well as men; and things refuse to be trifled with. Property will be protected.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
