Land Prices

Famous quotes containing the words land and/or prices:

“What between the duties expected of one during one’s lifetime, and the duties exacted from one after one’s death, land has ceased to be either a profit or a pleasure. It gives one position, and prevents one from keeping it up. That’s all that can be said about land.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

“The earth only has so much bounty to offer and inventing ever larger and more notional prices for that bounty does not change its real value.”
