Oil Rights

Famous quotes containing the words oil and/or rights:

    Courage, determination, and hard work are all very nice, but not so nice as an oil well in the back yard.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    A wife is property that one acquires by contract, she is transferable, because possession of her requires title; in fact, woman is, so to speak, only man’s appendage; consequently, slice, cut, clip her, you have all rights to her.
    HonorĂ© De Balzac (1799–1850)
