Property Quotes
-
The supposed astronomical proofs of the theory of relativity, as cited and claimed by Einstein, do not exist. He is a confusionist. The Einstein theory is a fallacy. The theory that ether does not exist, and that gravity is not a force but a property of space can only be described as a crazy vagary, a disgrace to our age.
Charles Lane Poor

Table salt hardens here. Books mildew. Diaries flip open. Private Property: Please Turn Around.
Elizabeth Graver

Out West all the smells are sucked up out of the baked land by the sun. And it’s as if all the colors in the ground are gobbled up by their sunsets, and so is the blue of the sky. The sky is high and pale and impersonal and you get the feeling it doesn’t belong to you at all, but that it is the property of the chamber of commerce. In the South the sky is humid and low and rich and it’s yours to smell and feel. In the West you’re only an observer. In the West someone sees a flower growing on a mountain and he writes a whole damned pamphlet about it.
Elliott Chaze
-
One of the paradoxes of globalization is that, in the developing world, we've seen massive reductions in property.
Tony Blair
-
She didn’t believe that anyone should be made to spend the entire time on earth as property of someone else. No matter what it took, she was determined to see them free before she went to her grave.
Beverly Jenkins
-
People who own property feel a sense of ownership in their future and their society. They study, save, work, strive and vote. And people trapped in a culture of tenancy do not.
Henry Louis Gates
-
...to characterize the import of pure geometry, we might use the standard form of a movie-disclaimer: No portrayal of the characteristics of geometrical figures or of the spatial properties of relationships of actual bodies is intended, and any similarities between the primitive concepts and their customary geometrical connotations are purely coincidental.
Carl Gustav Hempel
-
So government acts as a safeguard of our property.
William Weld
-
From the business point of view—not to overstate it—intellectual property is dead; long live intellectual process. Long live service; long live performance.
Esther Dyson
-
When a “founding father’s” remarks about “liberty” don’t seem to make sense, substitute the word “property” and they do.
Ned Sublette
-
It is in the nature of a group and its power to turn against independence, the property of individual strength.
Hannah Arendt
-
It is a great delusion to suppose that flesh-meat of any kind is essential to health. Considerably more than three parts of the work in the world is done by men who never taste anything but vegetable, farinaceous food, and that of the simplest kind. There are more strength-producing properties in wholemeal flour, peas, beans, lentils, oatmeal, roots, and other vegetables of the same class, than there are beef or mutton, poultry or fish, or animal food of any description whatever.
Catherine Booth
-
Mediocre people have an answer for everything and are astonished at nothing. They always want to have the air of knowing better than you what you are going to tell them; when, in their turn, they begin to speak, they repeat to you with the greatest confidence, as if dealing with their own property, the things that they have heard you say yourself at some other place. A capable and superior look is the natural accompaniment of this type of character.
Eugene Delacroix
-
If my sense of security lies in my reputation or in the things I have, my life will be in a constant state of threat and jeopardy-a fear that these possessions may be lost, stolen, or devalued. If I'm in the presence of someone of greater net worth, fame, or status, I feel inferior. If I'm in the presence of someone of lesser net worth, fame or status, I feel superior. My sense of self-worth constantly fluctu-ates. I don't have any sense of constancy, anchorage, or persistent selfhood. I am constantly trying to protect and insure my assets, properties, securities, position, or reputation.
Stephen Covey
-
Let us not dream that reason can ever be popular. Passions, emotions, may be made popular; but reason remains ever the property of an elect few.
Curt Goetz
-
A trust held the property and they were liquidating their property. It sold for a little more than we thought, but I was not surprised, positively or negatively.
Eric Johnson
-
Good character is property. It is the noblest of all possessions.
Samuel Smiles
-
A sick child is always the mother's property; her own feelings generally make it so.
Jane Austen
