คนยากจนต้องต่อสู้อย่างหนักเพื่อความเป็นอยู่อันจำเป็น คนมั่งมีต่อสู้เพื่อการสะสม แล้วในที่สุดไปจากโลกนี้ คนทั้งสองประเภทก็ไปโดยทำนองเดียวกัน คือไปด้วยมือเปล่าแท้ๆ การสะสมทรัพย์สมบัติไว้จนไม่มีทางจะใช้นั้น เขาทำเพื่ออะไรกัน...เมื่อที่สุดมนุษย์เรา จะต้องเหมือนกันเช่นนี้ทั้งหมด?

ศรีบูรพา (กุหลาบ สายประดิษฐ์)

I've been so bothered with my property, that I'm tired of it, and don't mean to save up any more, but give it away as I go along, and then nobody will envy me, or want to steal it, and I shan't be suspecting folks and worrying about my old cash.

Louisa May Alcott

Few things would gratify me as much as a rediscovered respect for things belonging to others. Not abusing the property of others (or that of the community) is one of the ways in which we respect others. It is an essential part of being considerate guests, no matter where we are: in an airplane, in a friend's home, in a movie theater, in a doctor's office, in a public library, or in a public square.

P.M. Forni

It is a policeman’s duty to retrieve stolen property and return it to its owners. But when robbery becomes the purpose of the law, and the policeman’s duty becomes, not protection, but the plunder of property - then it is an outlaw who has to become a policeman.

Ayn Rand

Just as sex is a God-given instinct for the prolongation of the human race, so the desire for property as a prolongation of one's ego is a natural right sanctioned by natural law. A person is free on the inside because he can call his soul his own; he is free on the outside because he can call property his own. Internal freedom is based upon the fact that "I am"; external freedom is based on the fact that "I have." But just as the excesses of flesh produce lust, for lust is sex in the wrong place, so there can be a deordination of the desire for property until it becomes greed, avarice, and capitalistic aggression.

Fulton J. Sheen
