Whatever open-border libertarians think about immigration law, once the immigration scofflaw steals, trespasses, or vandalizes private property, said alien is guilty of crimes. To say, moreover, that the state's laws made masses of men and women commit such crimes is to voice the philosophy of determinism, not individualism.

A voyage to the moon, however romantick and absurd the scheme may now appear, since the properties of air have been better understood, seemed highly probable to many of the aspiring wits in the last century
Samuel Johnson
Image
We define thermodynamics ... as the investigation of the dynamical and thermal properties of bodies, deduced entirely from the first and second law of thermodynamics, without speculation as to the molecular constitution.
James Clerk Maxwell
Image
An argument fatal to the communist theory, is suggested by the fact, that a desire for property is one of the elements of our nature.
Herbert Spencer
Image
We have altered the physical, chemical and biological properties of the planet on a geological scale. We have left no part of the globe untouched.
David Suzuki
Image
What everybody misses here is that we are doing the same thing my father did. He licensed and litigated and protected his property, and we have to follow the same tradition, because the way the law reads, if you dont protect it, you lose it.
Dexter Scott King
Image
Consider what importance to society the chastity of women is. Upon that all the property in the world depends. We hang a thief for stealing a sheep but the unchastity of a woman transfers sheep and farm and all from the right owner.
Samuel Johnson
Image
In a free society, individuals have the right to do right or wrong, as long as they don't threaten or infringe upon the rights or property of others.
Mark Skousen

It makes one hope and believe that a day will come when, in the eye of the law, literary property will be as sacred as whiskey, or any other of the necessaries of life. It grieves me to think how far more profound and reverent a respect the law would have for literature if a body could only get drunk on it.
Mark Twain
Image
PROPERTY, n. Any material thing, having no particular value, that may be held by A against the cupidity of B. Whatever gratifies the passion for possession in one and disappoints it in all others. The object of man's brief rapacity and long indifference.
Ambrose Bierce
Image
He possessed the rare merit of making a property of his time and not a burden.
Anthony Trollope
Image
We must rouse in our people the unanimous wish for power in this sense, together with the determination to sacrifice on the altar of patriotism, not only life and property, but also private views and preferences in the interests of the common welfare.
Friedrich von Bernhardi
Image
Neutrinos alone, among all the known particles, have ethereal properties that are striking and romantic enough both to have inspired a poem by John Updike and to have sent teams of scientists deep underground for 50 years to build huge science-fiction-like contraptions to unravel their mysteries.
Lawrence M. Krauss
Image
I have always liked real estate farm land, pasture land, timber land and city property. I have had experience with all of them. I guess I just naturally like ‘the good Earth,’ the foundation of all our wealth.
Jesse H. Jones
Image
There exist in the world only two great parties that of those who prefer to live from the produce of their labor or of their property, and that of those who prefer to live on the labor or the property of others.
Charles Dunoyer
Image
When I consider this carefully, I find not a single property which with certainty separates the waking state from the dream. How can you be certain that your whole life is not a dream?
Rene Descartes
Image
Get arrested. Destroy the property of those who torture animals. Liberate those animals interned in the hellholes our society tolerates.
Jerry Vlasak

When I get that question, about diversity, I don't go, Yeah, well you know they don't pay me. That's not my story. I own six properties Hollywood has been damn good to me. Now you can ask me, Have they paid you what you deserve? That's the question, but you'd have to go to the studios, I don't know. I do the work!
Taraji P. Henson

You see there are people who believe the function of the police is to fight crime, and that's not true, the function of the police is social control and protection of property.
Michael Parenti
Image
If this taxation exemptions for Church were rescinded, our property taxes would be substantially lowered, and those who rent houses and apartments would consequently be able to pass along this savings in the form of lowered rents. It could have a profoundly salubrious effect on the entire economy.
Madalyn Murray O'Hair
Image
Everyday life invents itself by poaching in countless ways on the property of others.
Michel de Certeau
Image
Every man has a property in his own person. This nobody has a right to, but himself.
John Locke
Image
It is only when we have renounced our preoccupation with I, me, mine, that we can truly possess the world in which we live. Everything, provided that we regard nothing as property. And not only is everything ours it is also everybody else's.
Aldous Huxley
Image
The greater the novel, the more it is apt to embody the special, non-replicable properties of the written medium.
