The growth of property and the desire for its transmission to children was, in reality, the moving power which brought in monogamy to insure legitimate heirs, and to limit their number to the actual progeny of the married pair.
Lewis Henry Morgan
Image
Plasma seems to have the kinds of properties one would like for life. It's somewhat like liquid water--unpredictable and thus able to behave in an enormously complex fashion. It could probably carry as much information as DNA does. It has at least the potential for organizing itself in interesting ways.
Freeman Dyson
Image
No man ought to own more property than needed for his livelihood the rest, by right, belonged to the state.
Benjamin Franklin
Image
Our laws make law impossible our liberties destroy all freedom our property is organized robbery our morality an impudent hypocrisy our wisdom is administered by inexperienced or mal-experienced dupes our power wielded by cowards and weaklings and our honour false in all its points. I am an enemy of the existing order for good reasons
George Bernard Shaw
Image
The choice lies between property on the one hand and slavery, public or private, on the other. There is no third issue.
Hilaire Belloc
Image
When you see your body wasted away through sickness, do not murmur against God, but say: 'The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away blessed be the name of the Lord' (Job 1:21). You are accustomed to look upon your body as upon your own inalienable property, but that is quite wrong, because your body is God's edifice.
John of Kronstadt
Image
Why will our elections be equal? Because neither differences in regard to property (differences partly existing) nor differences of race and nationality will cause any privileges or disadvantages. Women will enjoy the right to elect and be elected equally with men. Our elections will be really equal.
Joseph Stalin

Privacy is not a static construct. It is not an inherent property of any particular information or setting. It is a process by which people seek to have control over a social situation by managing impressions, information flows, and context.

[Songwriting is] something that I own - it's my property, it's my music, it's my voice.
Nick Jonas
Image
Life is a warfare and he who easily desponds deserts a double duty--he betrays the noblest property of man, which is dauntless resolution and he rejects the providence of that All-Gracious Being who guides and rules the universe.
Jane Porter
Image
If you mix up chirality, a protein's properties change enormously. Life couldn't operate with just random mixtures of stuff.
Ronald Breslow
Image
The property which every man has in his own labour, as it is the original foundation of all other property, so it is the most sacred and inviolable.
Adam Smith
Image
The slaves were simply turned loose without any property. They were easily recognizable. They were black. They were suddenly free to go exploring.
Kurt Vonnegut
Image
We are living in a highly organized state of socialism. The state is all the individual is of importance only as he contributes to the welfare of the state. His property is only his as the state does not need it. He must hold his life and his possessions at the call of the state.
Bernard Baruch
Image
When a man assumes a public trust he should consider himself a public property.
Thomas Jefferson
Image
Inclusive economic institutions require secure property rights and economic opportunities not just for the elite but for a broad cross-section of society.
Daron Acemoglu
Image
Justification, in terms of the broadening of freedom, for any particular form of institution of property must be argued in terms of whether the losses caused by the restrictions imposed are greater or less than the gains derived from the elimination of costly conflict.
Kenneth E. Boulding
Image
I recover my property wherever I find it.
Moliere
Image
Avarice often produces opposite results: there are an infinite number of persons who sacrifice their property to doubtful and distant expectations others mistake great future advantages for small present interests.
Francois de La Rochefoucauld
Image
Vices are simply the errors which a man makes in his search after his own happiness. Unlike crimes, they imply no malice toward others, and no interference with their persons or property.
Lysander Spooner
Image
We're creating an ownership society in this country, where more Americans than ever will be able to open up their door where they live and say, welcome to my house, welcome to my piece of property.
George W. Bush
Image
No man in this country is under the smallest obligation, moral or otherwise, so to arrange his legal relations to his business or his property as to enable the Inland Revenue to put the largest shovel into his stores.
James Avon Clyde, Lord Clyde
Image
We talk a lot about individual rights, but in fact Americans are very willing to give up our individual rights if it means our property values will be protected, and so on.
Robert D. Kaplan
Image
The customs of some savage nations might, perchance, be profitably imitated by us, for they at least go through the semblance of casting their slough annually they have the idea of the thing, whether they have the reality or not.
Henry David Thoreau
