Famous quotes containing the words property and/or damage:

    We do not deride the fears of prospering white America. A nation of violence and private property has every reason to dread the violated and the deprived.
    June Jordan (b. 1939)

    If every man possessed everything he wanted, and no one had the power to interfere with such possession; or if no man desired that which could damage his fellow-man, justice would have no part to play in the universe.
    Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
