    Henry David Thoreau (2016). “Walden”, p.26, Xist Publishing
  • The widespread distribution of private property ownership is the cornerstone of American liberty. Without it, neither our free enterprise system nor our republican form of government could long endure.

  • Life, liberty, and property do not exist because men have made laws. On the contrary, it was the fact that life, liberty, and property existed beforehand that caused men to make laws in the first place.

    Men   Law   Liberty  
    Frederic Bastiat (2006). “The Law”, p.6, Cosimo, Inc.
  • The effect of the corporation, under the prevailing policy of the free, go-as-you-please method of organization and management, has been to drive the bulk of our people, other than farmers, out of property ownership; and, if allowed to go on as present, it will keep them out... The paramount problem is not how to stop the growth of property, and the building up of wealth, but how to manage it so that every species of property, like a healthy growing tree will spread its roots deeply and widely in the soil of a popular proprietorship.

  • Beware of listening to this impostor; you are undone if you once forget that the fruits of the earth belong to us all, and the earth itself to nobody.

    Jean-Jacques Rousseau (2005). “On the Origin of Inequality”, p.62, Cosimo, Inc.
  • The widespread distribution of private property ownership is the cornerstone of American liberty. Without it neither our free enterprise system nor our republican form of government could long endure.... The next Republican Administration will...not only protect the cherished human right of property ownership, but will also work to help millions of Americans - particularly those from disadvantaged groups - to share in the ownership of the wealth of their nation.

  • The paramount problem... is how to make this new form of property ownership a workable agent toward repeopleizing the proprietorship of the country's industries. Open to the wage-earner of the country the road to proprietorship... not as a gratuity, but as their proper allotment out of the combined forces that have made the enterprise successful.

  • As a man is said to have a right to his property, he may be equally said to have a property in his rights.

    Men   Rights   Liberty  
    James Madison, Ralph Ketcham “Selected Writings of James Madison”, Hackett Publishing
  • This isn't about love as in caring. This is about property as in ownership.

    Chuck Palahniuk (2005). “Fight Club: A Novel”, p.14, W. W. Norton & Company
  • Every man has a property in his own person. This nobody has a right to, but himself.

    John Locke, John W. Yolton (1977). “The Locke Reader: Selections from the Works of John Locke with a General Introduction and Commentary”, p.289, CUP Archive
  • Monopolistic capitalism is to blame for this; it sunders the right to own property from responsibility that owning property involves. Those who own only a few stocks have no practical control of any industry. They vote by postcard proxy, but they have rarely even seen "their" company. The two elements which ought to be inextricably joined in any true conception of private property - ownership and responsibility - are separated. Those who own do not manage; those who manage; those who manage and work do not control or own.

  • When people lack jobs, opportunity, and ownership of property they have little or no stake in their communities.

    Jobs   Opportunity   Fda  
  • The idea that full employment without property ownership will solve the world's problems is utter nonsense. The Keynesian concept that the function of capital is merely to amplify labor, not independently produce wealth is simply blindness.
