Choose a letter: 
Civilization is built on a number of ultimate principles... respect for human life, the punishment of crimes against property and persons, the equality of all good citizens before the law... or, in a word justice.
Max Nordau, Hungarian Critic (1849-1923)
Much violence is based on the illusion that life is a property to be defended and not to be shared.
Henri Nouwen, Dutch Clergyman (1932-1996)
The whole notion of land property rights in the Arab world is different from that in Europe.
William Odom, American Soldier (1932-2008)
While I believe our Constitution allows for State and local governments to execute the power of eminent domain for those purposes that specifically serve the public good, condemning property solely to implement economic development plans is not serving the public good.
Solomon Ortiz, American Politician (1937-  )
Soon afterwards I studied the inversion of sugar in the light of these considerations and immediately found that this classical reaction, too, was determined quantitatively by the same property of the acids, as was of course to be expected from the previous results.
Wilhelm Ostwald, German Scientist (1853-1932)
Property in man, always morally unjust, has become nationally dangerous.
Robert Dale Owen, Scottish Politician (1801-1877)
Of the unjust rights which in virtue of this ceremony an iniquitous law gives me over the person and property of another, I cannot legally, but I can morally, divest myself.
Robert Dale Owen, Scottish Politician (1801-1877)
Property that endangers the safety of a nation should not be suffered to remain in the hands of its citizens.
Robert Dale Owen, Scottish Politician (1801-1877)
Arms discourage and keep the invader and plunderer in awe, and preserve order in the world as well as property... Horrid mischief would ensue were the law-abiding deprived of the use of them.
Thomas Paine, English Writer (1737-1809)
We are angry about paying the highest income taxes and property taxes in the nation and getting less and less for it. We are angry about our incompetent, dysfunctional government that pays no attention to the desires of the people. We are angry about the cesspool of corruption and conflicts of interests and self-dealing that is Albany.
Carl Paladino, American Politician (1946-  )
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. Be militant each in your own way. I incite this meeting to rebellion.
Emmeline Pankhurst, English Activist (1858-1928)
Justice is the insurance which we have on our lives and property. Obedience is the premium which we pay for it.
William Penn, English Leader (1644-1718)
Reforming public education, cutting property taxes, fixing adult and child protective services and funding our budget can all occur when Democrats and Republicans engage in consensus and cooperation - not cynicism and combat.
Rick Perry, American Politician (1950-  )
Strict justice would demand total confiscation of your property, personal imprisonment and fines.
Zebulon Pike, American Soldier (1779-1813)
Property is unstable, and youth perishes in a moment. Life itself is held in the grinning fangs of Death, Yet men delay to obtain release from the world. Alas, the conduct of mankind is surprising.
Titus Maccius Plautus, Roman Poet
The possessions of the rich are stolen property.
Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, French Economist (1809-1865)
Communism is inequality, but not as property is. Property is exploitation of the weak by the strong. Communism is exploitation of the strong by the weak.
Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, French Economist (1809-1865)
Property is theft.
Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, French Economist (1809-1865)
Hawaii is the best form of comfort for me. When I die, I want to be cremated, and I want half my ashes spread in the Pacific around the island, the rest on the property.
Richard Pryor, American Actor (1940-2005)
Without that sense of security which property gives, the land would still be uncultivated.
