It is not true that the legislator has absolute power over our persons and property. The existence of persons and property preceded the existence of the legislator, and his function is only to guarantee their safety.
Frederic Bastiat
Image
Do all that you say you are going to do and don't aggress against other people or their property. That's the whole of the law. I can live with a law like that.
Doug Casey
Image
When people who are songwriters say 'That's my property and if you give it away for free then I'll lose my incentive,' then, well, good riddance.
Ian MacKaye

Even into the 20th century, women were still struggling in the Western world for rights that Islam had granted women in the 7th century: equal rights to education the right to own and inherit property to have a voice in the decisions affecting their lives to be active, engaged, and valued members of society at all levels.

When the thing is finally sparked, the white man is not there - he's gone. The merchant is not there, the landlord is not there, the one they consider to be the enemy isn't there. So, they knock at his property. This is what makes them knock down the store windows and set fire to things, and things of that sort.
Malcolm X
Image
One's self-satisfaction is an untaxed kind of property which it is very unpleasant to find deprecated.
George Eliot

I was very lucky to be offered a lovely piece of property to build a career on. I started building a house on it, but it wasn't necessarily a house I would want to live in. So I ripped down that house, and I worked with these great lumberjacks to build a really cool cabin-a place I want to drink whiskey in and hang out until the sun rises.
Vanessa Carlton

Our fathers waged a bloody conflict with England, because they were taxed without being represented. This is just what unmarried women of property are now.
Angelina Grimke
Image
Property is the foundation of every right we have, including the right to be free. Every legal claim, after all, is a claim to something-either a defensive claim to keep what one is holding or an offensive claim to something someone else is holding.
Roger Pilon

I have a large standalone workshop on the back of my property where I prototype and build stuff. It's bright, roomy, and has a giant door so it's easy to bring projects in or out.
William Gurstelle
Image
A historical property has morals and ethics of the society that created it and it can be revived. What I mean is that we can discover new possibilities from the process of dismantling, transforming, and recreating.
Ai Weiwei

Intellectual Property is the oil of the 21st century.
Mark Getty
Image
Life is a relationship among molecules and not a property of any molecule.
Linus Pauling
Image
The love of property and consciousness of right and wrong have conflicting places in our organization, which often makes a man's course seem crooked, his conduct a riddle.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
One wonders, in fact, why marriage is a legal issue at all - apart from its relevance to immigration and property laws. Why would something so integral to human nature require such vigilant legal protection?
Christopher Ryan
Image
The democracy which shows up in the United States and in England is not an ideal democracy, because the will of the people is under the pressure of property, which is in the hands of the wealthy capitalists.
Hans Fritzsche

[ on the tropicalization of intellectual property laws ] To make the digital world join in the samba.
Gilberto Gil
Image
Prosperity comes from leaving people free in a legal system that respects their persons and property so they can pursue their dreams while taking responsibility for their actions.
John Stossel
Image
As ridiculous to approve of property and let a few men have a grossly unfair share of it, as say you are all for marriage, and then let one man have all the wives.
Katharine Whitehorn
Image
It wouldn't be fair to say that conservatives cherish property the way liberals cherish equality. But it would be fair to say that the takings clause is the conservatives recipe for judicial activism just as they say liberals have misused the equal protection clause.
Michael Kinsley

Give your goods to the poor: Christ. Property is theft - as long as it's not mine: Marx .
Joseph Goebbels
Image
The notion that the records of government are the property of the people is radically democratic, but it is broken in practice.
Ryan Shapiro
Image
I learned through my body and soul that it was necessary for me to sin, that I needed lust, that I had to strive for property and experience nausea and the depths of despair in order to learn not to resist them, in order to learn to love the world.
Hermann Hesse
Image
I think the term intellectual property should be avoided, not because it's a bad term, but because it mixes things up that shouldn't be mixed up. There are different forms, and they hardly have anything to do with each other.
Linus Torvalds
