Great is the good fortune of a state in which the citizens have a moderate and sufficient property.

I said to my mother-in-law, 'My house is your house.' She said, 'Get the hell off my property.'

My father owned a small piece of land. He carried it with him wherever he went.

No man but feels more of a man in the world if he have a bit of ground that he can call his own. However small it is on the surface, it is four thousand miles deep; and that is a very handsome property.

Well! Some people talk of morality, and some of religion, but give me a little snug property.

Broad acres are a patent of nobility; and no man but feels more of a man in the world if he have a bit of ground that he can call his own. However small it is on the surface, it is four thousand miles deep; and that is a very handsome property.

What good is a planet called Earth, after all, if you own no land?

There is something that governments care for far more than human life, and that is the security of property; and so it is through property that we shall strike the enemy.

Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

Where all of the man is what property he owns, it does not take long to annihilate him.

It is not the possessions but the desires of mankind which require to be equalized.
