Hubert H. Humphrey
When neither their property nor their honor is touched, the marjority of men live content.
Niccolo Machiavelli
Religion I have disposed of all my property to my family. There is one thing more I wish I could give to them, and that is the Christian religion. If they had that and I had not given them one cent, they would be rich. If they have not that, and I had given them the world, they would be poor.

Lt. Rahn Farder

Stuart Rossmiller
We had looked at a number of areas before. We were fortunate enough to become involved with the Y and their dreams. This location was excellent and we just feel very fortunate we were able to work something out and secure the property.
Buster Smith
It's possible for government to take your property tomorrow, and you won't be able to do a thing about it.

Tom Stewart
We think the U.S. looks one of the the most overpriced property share markets around the globe.
Jack Foster

Jason Hall
There could even be a swap, with Hillcrest throwing in the land (on Highway 84) to purchase the property at Legends Crossing, though I don't know if the Legends Crossing people are motivated to do that deal.
Randy Reid
The state division of Historic Sites has the last word, even on private property.
Robert Carr
I think it's pretty self-evident that land prices downtown have escalated so rapidly that people are looking for affordable alternatives. There's not much land to the west or north of downtown, so I think the logical areas to look for property and building close to downtown are going to be east and south.
Charles Heimsath
How does this big piece of property get access points without accessing through the rest of us and ruining our lives?
Robert Weiss

Pierre joseph Proudhon
What we are trying to do here is encourage property owners to properly place these trees around their homes.
Scott Butler
That someone else would have say so over what I want to do with my property just incenses me.
Patricia Hall
We felt that being more aggressive with fines might ring a bell [for the property owner]. We are counting on him to wake up and fix the property. This is an effort to avoid condemning the property. Our intent is not to keep fining the guy; it is to get the problem solved. There is no guarantee at this time.
Dennis Rittenhouse
Fourteen-hundred dollars a month in fines should be incentive enough for anyone to fix their property.
Jean Dellios
With ceramic capacitors, a lot of the content really is proprietary intellectual property. But with standard interconnects, it doesn't matter. Everybody knows exactly what's in the component. So in that case, the lack of full disclosure is a cop out.
Michael Kirschner
To preserve and protect life and property.
Kaylee Brown
Any regulations adopted since December 31, 1995 that damages or harms the value of your property by restricting how the property can be use would be subject to our initiative. Farmers are being driven off land by government regulations.
Dean Boyer
The key to property value in New Orleans is in the hands of the U.S. Congress. Until Congress O.K.'s the money to build the levees to withstand Category 5 hurricanes, there will always be a question about properties here.
Arthur Sterbcow
We are going to be tested like no other group has ever been tested before on this property, ... dig in and be prepared for a fight.
Ted Ludwig
Most of the beachfront lots are taken up, and some have bought property on the bay side.
Jerry Parker

Michael Barr
This is about a private-property right and an unfair, narrow tax with a phony 'fee' label, ... We've been accused before of being in the pocket of the tobacco companies, from people who question your motives before they pay any attention to the argument.
David Strom
I worked here when the interest rates were 18 percent and property still moved.
Debbie Roth
It is the wettest month in 104 years. It was 16 inches of rain, we have had 7 dams break, though there was no significant loss of property in those events.
Gina Mccarthy
With the Iraqi war going on and the feelings of God becoming the property of some political party, I was starting to get a feeling that really bothered me.
Buddy Miller
It used to be that people would buy a place and then ask if it was appropriate to be let out, but increasingly people want to make the right investment, so check with agents before selecting an area and a property.
Sean Finnegan
That will always make them and you feel better. This simple technique makes each guest feel like he or she is the most important person on the property that day.
Martin R. Baird
Lenders are selling properties at market value, especially if it's a desirable property. The lender who owns the property is not under any obligation to sell at any great discount.

Kerry Johnson
The property owners on Main Street need to take better care of their buildings and storefronts. There's so much litter and garbage. ... I clean my sidewalk daily.
Fred Shafer
We're always doing something to improve our property.
Shirley Phillips
They are about her life down there, where she has some property. She spent a lot of time on the water.
Susan Mackin Dolan
We're probably sitting in the room where Henry Ford and J.B. Campbell met. Campbell probably read about Ford's desire to build a mill on his newly acquired property.
Rich Gnatowski
It's pale in comparison to the damage of property and lives taken without a system. So the dollars I think, based on what it would accomplish, are certainly reasonable.

So that he does not return to the victim and do any more harm to either the victim, the victim's property or any other innocent bystander that may be caught between this feud that's going on.
Andy Passo
We are pleased to be able to align our shareholders with the well-diversified, high-quality portfolio of Health Care Property Investors. The scale and breadth of the combined companies will better serve our investors and customers.

Ambrose Bierce
We've just asked everyone to be more vigilant and asked property owners to make sure their carport areas are either secure or cleaned up.
Jeff Price
Curb appeal is possibly the most important aspect of a hotel property when trying to attract transient guests. One of the most common negative comments from our lenders, customers and potential investors was the appearance of the drainage ditch area between K-61 and our property, as well as the chain-link fence.
Bill Hipsher
It would allow the cost of repairing the dams and maintaining them in the future to be spread over a number of years and all the property owners there would pay the assessment annually.
Cathy Riddle
The DOT's hands are really tied at this point because the fencing issue is on private property. Unfortunately, there's not much we can do.
Kris Carson
This particular piece of property has been a problem in the community for years. We're answering the community's cry. We're here to make a difference, and it begins today.
Ray Koterba
I wanted a piece of property where we could grow and get bigger. And it was hard to find that much. But because this had been a dairy, the land had already been cleared, which eliminated an additional expense for us.
John Faulkner
It's my client's property and he has a right to it.
Robert Baker
Its total refurbishment will be £250,000, but the property could be worth £1million when complete.

Rep. Cadman thinks there's a property right to blow smoke into a casino worker's lungs.
Rep. Anne Mcgihon
You know, you don't do people's property like that! He wouldn't want nobody to do him like that.
Veronica Jordan
There are plans to add a substation to the Argent West property. It's obviously at significant cost, but there is obvious revenue there as well.
Jimmy Baker
It was prime property. It just wasn't hers.
Tony Clark
It's not the impact of one project and the value of the property in that project.
Don Murray
This is a property levy that will be 10.3-mills operating levy on the ballot. But it's actually replacing a 5-mill levy that expiring this year.
Larry Jenkins
We have more than 150 patents pending and 16 patents issued related to our ISA247 technology. These patents include compound claims, methods of manufacture, use claims and analytical methods. Our intellectual property position continues to be strengthened with the addition of this new patent. We will continue to pursue additional patentable claims for ISA247 where appropriate.
Dr. Randall Yatscoff
I'd think that any federal property in Arkansas that's high and dry will be in use before this is over, but that's a guess.
Greg Butts
He always took the time to talk to the property owners and knew of them and their property. He was able to work very professionally with all those folks even though they may not have always agreed with him.
Kevin Corbid
Now is the time for homeowners to go out and take a look at their property, do an assessment and make sure they are fire-wise.
Terry Lawson
Mike Dow deserves more than a nod here. Rather than put (the property) on the market, he wanted to find a way to allow the community to use it.
John Noonan
This company will torture us for another 20 to 30 years, even if it doesn't get anything, ... There will be fear for any of our exhibitions and any of our property abroad. We should have taken care of this problem long ago.
Vladimir Zhirinovsky
It poses a dilemma for us because more and more property crimes are occurring. We are making arrests, but people going to the Department of Corrections are not staying very long. Those people are coming back into the community quicker.
Gary Spear
This budget is a fraud on the people of New Jersey. He promised he would reduce spending. Instead, he increased property taxes.
Alex Decroce
We don't figure out how much we are losing in property taxes if a commercial property was being built instead of a tax-exempt church. It is part of a city doing business that some property will be tax-exempt.
Connie Barron
The right to private property meant at the same time the right and duty to be personally concerned about your own well-being, to be personally concerned about your family's income, to be personally concerned about your future. This is hard work.
Mikhail Khodorkovsky
Our goal is to create jobs within the port district, and we believe this will help us do that in that we'll be able to present property where businesses can locate with ready access to the river, a rail line and a four-lane highway.
Dan Silverthorn
We are under a Constitution, but the Constitution is what the judges say it is, and the judiciary is the safeguard of our property and our liberty and our property under the Constitution.
Charles Evans Hughes
We want landowners to know they have choice when they are approached to lease their mineral rights. There is a difference among the independents and we want the communities where we operate to know that we have their best interests at heart. We always try to do the right thing for landowners and their property, drill safely and efficiently, and clean up the well site area once we've completed.
Dan Peters
We're looking at property tomorrow.
Michael Gross
I think of law enforcement or ambulance personnel or fire personnel that are going to a house at one in the morning. They have no knowledge if there is housed within that property or residence, an aggressive dog. We need to give them a heads up to avoid a bite.
Gary Longanecker
If you're letting people handle tens of thousands of dollars, you usually ask for some bond on those people. Here, you usually have a collection of midlevel managers with the key to nearly everything you own, especially if you're in the business of creating intellectual property. Do you do a background check on them? Do you ask them to be bonded?
Joan Feldman
It does not compare to the damage that Opal brought to the city of Montgomery (in 1995). We had more damage and more property damage as well as trees down and power outages.
Anita Patterson
This fee will stifle new construction. Developers are being blamed for sprawl. Local governments develop general plans, and developers, both residential and commercial, build on property based on those plans.
Nathan Magsig
The lender will take the commitment to pay interest to the developer into account, even if you don't have to pay that interest immediately. They might not allow you to have a loan that would cause you to stretch your income too far, as you will still have to pay the full amount on the property in the future.
James Cotton
Schools are the key to increasing property values. In the future, there's a lot of development. They're going to be very overcrowded, too.
Brian Fuller
In return the owners must cease logging immediately and agree to enter into serious negotiations for the purchase and sale of the property.
Michael Hoffman
When we got into this case, ranchers all along the border were allowing these types to come on their property, ... Now, they're very leery of it, especially when they see someone loosing their ranch because of it.
Morris Dees
Music is included because music downloads fit the definition of personal property.
Jill Midkiff
We don't have property damage, but we have their bodies. We are hard hit.
Kathy Stephens
The vistas are incredible. The Pacific Crest Trail runs right through her property for about a mile.
Diane Garcia
We can buy and hold property for USC that they may not need for years. We lock it up and hold it at our own risk.
Susie Vanhuss
In Texas, private landowners have invited the group onto a lot of areas. The last count I heard was 2 million acres of property we've been asked to patrol. The owners have contacted us in some manner or another and said they're interested in having patrols.
Connie Hair
Microsoft is willing to invest in the promotion of genuine software, because we know a healthy intellectual property rights environment is the foundation for building up China's knowledge economy. Microsoft is committed to working with partners to ensure that our customers get the most out of their PCs through the use of genuine software.
Tim Chen
I'll have to wait until then to know where the public stands. We are going to let the public decide what to do with that property.
Councilwoman Esther Sanchez
They want to ensure they will get their money back, and that if a borrower defaults on the mortgage, [they] will be able to sell the property and recoup their losses that way.
Melanie Bien
It is more than buying a bare piece of property. It's basically uprooting a business and moving it, and that wouldn't be an easy thing.
Lewis Rucker
If they're going to come in and make a killing off our property, they should pay their share.
Don Jesser
Jones County has a very serious school construction need, ... They have been looking for avenues since their tax base is so limited and their property tax is very high.
William Wainwright
We've made a number of strides in getting information out to property owners. We feel we have more awareness in Franklin County about these issues than this office ever has before.
Stan Dixon
We've done this before, but there were 20 property owners in that one. This has kind of been a messy piece of property, but when it's all said and done, everyone will be a winner.
Dennis Larson
Our main concern is to not trade in lowering property taxes for an increase in sales taxes.
Dennis Hartnett
If the urban renewal legislation passes, we will be acquiring property at fair market values. Eminent domain will be one of the vehicles.
Gwen Eberly
If it's on private property, it's the owner's responsibility. If it's on public property, the city will clean it up.
Ron O'connor
Property transactions were down in the Highlands, but they were also down across the state.
Ross Macdonald
The property is so far from being developed, I don't think anybody's thinking process is that far along.
Jeff Boone
Our position would be that it is, and always has been, government property.
Roger Launius
That could be hundreds of people from the property that was stolen there.
Susann Griffin
In fact, a fundamental interdependence exists between the personal right to liberty and the personal right to property.
Potter Stewart
We will be in the national light as a historic property in need of preservation.
Chip Aikens
If everybody that is clearing property has to haul their debris to those sites, it's going to create a quagmire of traffic on U.S. 98.
Dennis Pierce
This is the most ludicrous thing I've heard in my life. They didn't get arrested. This happened outside of team property and it was an incident between two men who apologized for their actions. It's obnoxious.
Harold Lewis
First, let me begin by thanking each of you and the companies for what you all did to save lives, to save property, to restore the communities along the Gulf Coast.
Mary Landrieu
He was uniformly of an opinion which, though not a popular one, he was ready to aver, that the right of governing was not property but a trust.
Charles James Fox
He was intent in seeing the property conserved.
Kevin Essington
Property may be destroyed and money may lose its purchasing power; but character, health, knowledge and good judgment will always be in demand under all conditions.
Roger Babson
Without his property, there's no room for a jail.
Paul Patton
We know its history, but the property still makes for a good development site.
Michael Foster
I hope we could get someone to move into the property who would be able to generate tax revenue. Of course, nobody generates revenue like Wal-Mart.
Glen Gould
I called the city arborist the next day and he told me they couldn't do anything. Virginia Power has the right to cut on my property due to an easement over private property.
Don O'hare
Simplicity, that is what we offer. We are experts at seller financing through lease options. We put our expertise to work for the client by procuring the property and the tenant for their property. We then assist the client in the management of the property.
Jason Sant
I think it's a prime property, ... I know that we're looking for funds, but if we need any properties in the future, it would cost considerably more (to purchase property).
David Holden
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.
Frederic Bastiat
For a $3 million-plus property, the average amount spent is about $10,000.
Anita Tauber
But certainly in promoting peace you don't do damage to people's property.
Jerry Ryan
We haven't closed any trails, and we hope it doesn't come to that. But we are now issuing notices for certain 14ers: If you summit this peak, you are trespassing on private property.
Sara Mayben
The coastline is somewhat limited because there is only so much waterfront property that is going to be developed.
Michelle Caprio
Of course we need to speed up the process (of intellectual property rights compliance) but we can't expect the problem to go away overnight.
Yan Xiaohong
Land is now water on their (BVM) property.
Bonnie Mathis
I really thought it was a beautiful piece of property. I thought, what a wonderful place to raise horses. But the longer I stayed here and the feeling I got from this place, I thought, this is not a place to raise horses. There's a karma here that's just so bad.
Muse Watson
It's nobody's business what they do with their own property, if it's what they want to do, that's fine.
Linda Williams
We don't store it on the property. So, as soon as it comes out of the pipe, it's burned. So, if we have an interruption on the other end of the system, very soon we could have a shortage.
Bob Coleman
In that case, the appreciation of the home builds equity in the property, instead of monthly principal payments, ... Of course, it's still a good idea to make principal reduction payments if the home is a long-term investment.
Joe Tucker
We're all interested in upping the property values of this area.
Jerry Mitchell
No one can feel as the owner of the country and no one can feel excluded from the right of property. We must all suffer Colombia.
Alvaro Uribe Velez
[Asked what changed in the tide to allow them to be stars, Hoffman laughs and replies,] A decline in the culture. ... Everyone has a chance if you're lucky enough to find the property and we all three individually were very fortunate.
Gene Hackman
We made a lot of money from the property. So when I was 33, I found myself with a nice nest egg and no real career in front of me.
Russell Gewirtz
We have no other intention right now for the property other than to operate it not only as the world's largest gentlemen's club, but as the world's most expensive gentlemen's club.
Peter Feinstein
The property owners are given the opportunity to meet the board.
Larry Bailey
There are issues clearly in the property investment club area but they have not flowed through into the buy-to-let and main residential mortgage market.
John Heron
Historically there have been compensation programs, not restitution. In other words money, not give them back the property. And that's most likely what's going to happen.
Pamela Falk
The Aladdin will be the maximum highest and best use of the property, ... It would have been a crime for the trust to use the property to cannibalize on neighboring attractions.
Jack Sommer
The property was so extensive that he hired his own private 'police force' to patrol it.
Jack Sanders
It's not clear how much property is available in the right places, and it's not clear how the president anticipates people who get that land will pay for construction.
Jim Horney
Property is cut into littler and littler pieces, until all that's left is a cemetery and parking lot. We're in a race to document the old cemeteries before they disappear.
Dale Flatt
The western portion of our development between our property and Grandview (subdivision) will remain untouched.
Jamie Henderson
Intellectual property is playing an increasingly important role for our group. It's just a fact of life in our business now that you have to cultivate and protect IP.
Rudy Provoost
We didn't think anything of it because we thought we owned the property.
Marlen Winter
The auctioneer called and said he couldn't do it, because there was nothing of value on the property to recoup his costs, ... We are proceeding to clean it up and have told Mr. Peterson not to impede or get in the way of the hauling.
Keith Richardson
I would think we should be in a position in early April to actually go to settlement on the property and pay the estimated just compensation on the appraisal reports.
Michael Coll
Between car payments, getting married, buying property, having children, dealing with deaths, most people walk a very tight rope with debt. They make the huge mistake of only making minimum payments. Once something goes wrong in their lives and they need money fast ? they are at a major loss.
Howard Dvorkin
We believe there are property owners who come to Citizens because of price.
Justin Glover
Many if not most of the property owners out there have taken the next steps.
Al Reynolds
It?s an incentive for them to get rid of the property.
James Hurt
At this point in the property cycle there is a much larger group of long-term renters than there has been for 15 or 20 years.
Harley Dale
She used to brag to me that she had beachfront property. Now her property's in the Gulf.
Jim Johnston
If you have a party and someone injures themselves in your apartment, they could also sue you for their own injuries. Or if you accidentally overflow the bathtub, your landlord could hold you responsible for damage to the property based on your negligence. That's another good reason to have insurance.
Carolyn Gorman
It's money that can be used to help improve the rapid response. ... This would help save lives and property.
Chip Aikens
The group is very conscious of protecting the individual property owners, but we're telling them we don't want some cheap, half-baked development.
Debbie Hardy
These incidents did not occur on any church property and did not occur during any church-related activity. But, of course the church has no control over what happens in an individual's personal life.
Chris Richey
It's a very emotional issue. On one side you have a group that has a relationship with the birds, and on the other hand you have a property owner with a liability issue.
Marshall Foster
But that disclosure is only about a defect on the property itself. It says nothing about what's right behind it, what's right next door.
Jim Parsons
It's important for buyers to look at market trends in the neighborhood as well as identifying the restrictions in a neighborhood that can restrict their own property.
Scott Boles
They have to do something serious about property-tax reform. Otherwise, what are you going to do? They?re going to tax people out of their homes.
Superintendent Michael Wasta
We're working with the city to help develop the property.
Greg Morgan
The features of the property lend itself to passive use.
Dan Stencil
The local ordinance shackles the buyer and the seller. We know that it will harm our property values ... If you're concerned about demolition, then change the demolition law.
Dan Richardson
You can't attract capital investment from outside Iraq unless you have a constitution in place, a rule of law and a defined system that can guarantee property rights.
Steve King
So great moreover is the regard of the law for private property, that it will not authorize the least violation of it; no, not even for the general good of the whole community.
