| Maria Edgeworth | Some people talk of morality, and some of religion, but give me a little snug property.
Maria Edgeworth |
| Martin Luther King, Jr. | Property is intended to serve life, and no matter how much we surround it with rights and respect, it has no personal being. It is part of the earth man walks on. It is not man.
Martin Luther King, Jr. |
| Mary Wollstonecraft | What, but the rapacity of the only men who exercised their reason, the priests, secured such vast property to the church, when a man gave his perishable substance to save himself from the dark torments of purgatory.
Mary Wollstonecraft |
| Max Nordau | Civilization is built on a number of ultimate principles... respect for human life, the punishment of crimes against property and persons, the equality of all good citizens before the law... or, in a word justice.
Max Nordau |
| Meir Kahane | The fact is, that with the creation of the Jewish state in 1948, hundreds of thousands of Jews fled Arab countries, almost all of whom left behind all their property for which compensation was never paid.

| Michael Badnarik | I just want everyone to know that 20,000 gun laws in the United States are unconstitutional. They infringe on your right to protect your life, the lives of your loved ones, and your property.
Michael Badnarik |
| Michael Burgess | In a system where the cost of care is hidden by taxes levied on your income, property, and business activities, it is no wonder why so many Americans rely on Medicaid to pay their long term care.
Michael Burgess |
| Michael Kinsley | Almost any government activity can also be seen as taking property "without just compensation." The basic model of an unconstitutional "taking" would be if the government threw you out of your house.

| Michael Kinsley | It wouldn't be fair to say that conservatives cherish property the way liberals cherish equality. But it would be fair to say that the takings clause is the conservatives' recipe for judicial activism just as they say liberals have misused the equal protection clause.
Michael Kinsley |

Michael Nesmith |
| Mike Fitzpatrick | Our flag represents every American and it should not be hidden away as a result of property agreements.
Mike Fitzpatrick |
| Mikhail Khodorkovsky | 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 |
| Moshe Sharett | As for now, we must not forget who would have to exchange the land? those villages which live more than others on irrigation, on orange and fruit plantations, in houses built near water wells and pumping stations, on livestock and property and easy access to markets.
Moshe Sharett |
| namely | The term "serial" refers to the intrinsic property of a series – namely, its order. |
| natural | Each of us has a natural right, from God, to defend his person, his liberty, and his property.
Frederic Bastiat
|
| Neal Boortz | The principal purpose of the Democratic Party is to use the force of government to take property away from the people who earn it and give it to people who do not.
Neal Boortz |
| Nong Duc Manh | We cannot but feel uneasy about the losses caused by humanity themselves. Apart from the losses of life and property in destructive wars, the environment and natural resources are also being destroyed by human hands.
Nong Duc Manh |
| Norman O. Brown | I am what is mine. Personality is the original personal property.
Norman O. Brown |
| ownership | In the loosest sense of group ownership, a lack of legal framework, rules and regulations may mean that group ownership of property places every member in a position of responsibility (liability) for the actions of each other member. |
