Property Owner

Famous quotes containing the words property and/or owner:

    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.
    Aristotle (384–322 B.C.)

    To relive the relationship between owner and slave we can consider how we treat our cars and dogs—a dog exercising a somewhat similar leverage on our mercies and an automobile being comparable in value to a slave in those days.
    Edward Hoagland (b. 1932)
