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)

“It is better to write of laughter than of tears, for laughter is the property of man.”
—François Rabelais (1494–1553)
