Private ownership of property is vital to both our freedom and our prosperity.

Private property was the original source of freedom. It still is its main ballpark.

It seems the most logical thing in the world to believe that the natural resources of the Earth upon which the race depends for food clothing and shelter should be owned collectively by the race instead of being the private property of a few social parasites.

They're now turning those seeds into intellectual property so they have a virtual lock on the seeds upon which we all depend for our food and survival.

A fellow oughtn't to let his family property go to pieces.

I have now disposed of all my property to my family. There is one thing more I wish I could give them and that is the Christian religion.

It wouldn't be fair to say that conservatives cherish property the way liberals cherish equality. But it would be fair to say that the takings clause is the conservatives' recipe for judicial activism just as they say liberals have misused the equal protection clause.

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.

In education they say either property taxes have to go up or we'll have poor education - that's a false choice.

Giving women education work the ability to control their own income inherit and own property benefits the society. If a woman is empowered her children and her family will be better off. If families prosper the village prospers and eventually so does the whole country.

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.

A man has a property in his opinions and the free communication of them.

Even before he came to power in 1997 Gordon Brown promised to change the accounts to parliament from simple litanies of cash in and cash out to a more commercial system that took notice of the public property the departments were using. This system is known as resource accounting.

The courts cannot garnish a father's salary nor freeze his account nor seize his property on behalf of his children in our society. Apparently this is because a kid is not a car or a couch or a boat.

Selling public property is the true Chicago way. Had Mr. Obama not been elected president the nation's business journals would be falling over one another to praise his city for its daring market-friendly innovations.

It is clearly better that property should be private but the use of it common and the special business of the legislator is to create in men this benevolent disposition.

Among the natural rights of the colonists are these: First a right to life secondly to liberty and thirdly to property together with the right to defend them in the best manner they can.
