Why grab possessions like thieves, or divide them like socialists when you can ignore them like wise men? – Natalie Clifford Barney

Property is an intellectual production. The game requires coolness, right reasoning, promptness, and patience in the players. – Ralph Waldo Emerson

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

Property is intended to serve life, and no matter how much we surround it with rights and respect, it has no personal being. It is part of the earth man walks on. It is not man. – Martin Luther King, Jr.
