Obtaining Property

Famous quotes containing the words obtaining and/or property:

“Continual success in obtaining those things which a man from time to time desireth, that is to say, continual prospering, is that men call FELICITY; I mean Felicity of this life. For there is no such thing as perpetual Tranquillity of mind, while we live here; because Life it self is but Motion, and can never be without Desire, nor without Faeroe, no more than without Sense.”
—Thomas Hobbes (1579–1688)

“As a man is said to have a right to his property, he may equally be said to have a property in his rights.”
—James Madison (1751–1836)
