Property should be in a certain sense common, but, as a general rule, private; for, when every one has a distinct interest, men will not complain of one another, and they will make more progress, because every one will be attending to his own business.

2005, Jowett

There is another variety of the art of acquisition which is commonly and rightly called an art of wealth-getting, and has in fact suggested the notion that riches and property have no limit.

2005 - Jowett

Property

Property is a part of the household, and the art of the acquiring property is a part of the art of managing the household; for no man can live well, or indeed live at all, unless he be provided with necessaries.

2005, Jowett

“When a management team with a reputation for brilliance tackles a business with a reputation for bad economics, it is the reputation of the business that remains intact.”

Warren Buffett

“The Great Depression, like most other periods of severe unemployment, was produced by government mismanagement rather than by any inherent instability of the private economy.”

Milton Friedman

“In a real estate man's eye, the most expensive part of the city is where he has a house to sell”
