The land is so much more than its analysis.
Landholders Quotes : pic 000275934

Landholders Quotes : pic 000230701
When we see land as a community to which we belong,
we may see it with love and respect. - Perhaps such a shift of values can be achieved
by reappraising things unnatural, tame, and confined
in terms of things natural, wild, and free.
Landholders Quotes : pic 001418999
You need to understand this. We did not think we owned the land. The land was part of us. We didn't even know about owning the land. It is like talking about owning your grandmother - you can't own your grandmother. She just is your grandmother. Why would you talk about owning her?
Landholders Quotes : pic 000796261
In so far as the government lands can be disposed of, I am in favor of cutting up the wild lands into parcels so that every poor man may have a home.
Landholders Quotes : pic 001665312

Landholders Quotes : pic 000038151
But you must be sure of what you want the land for. And as for your tenants, if they don't own the land, don't expect them to make sacrifices. It never works, you know. Besides, the transition shouldn't create dislocations. It isn't easy to shift from agriculture to industry.
Landholders Quotes : pic 000068518
So much for land ownership, Henry thinks; it's a modern myth. You can buy and sell rights to use the land; you can't actually own it. He tries to remember who said, the land doesn't belong to you, you belong to the land; the author was certainly Native American, but he can't pin down the source.
Landholders Quotes : pic 000181170
Young man the simple answer is: land, land and land. No-one gives up land. Ever.

Landholders Quotes : pic 000068511
For most of human history people owned other people. Then, only a hundred and fifty years ago, our ancestors figured out that was a bad idea. One day we'll figure out, or our descendants will figure out, that people owning land they don't live on or work is a bad idea too.
Landholders Quotes : pic 001277496
Men did not make the earth. It is the value of the improvements only, and not the earth itself, that is individual property. Every proprietor owes to the community a ground rent for the land which he holds.

Landholders Quotes : pic 001801474

Don't wait to buy land, buy land and wait.
Landholders Quotes : pic 001508371

The problem is we disagree about the origin. Is this occupied land or not?
Landholders Quotes : pic 001748133

Landholders Quotes : pic 001786130
The trouble with land is that they're not making it anymore.
Landholders Quotes : pic 000068534
But it's our land. We measured it and broke it up. We were born on it, and we got killed on it, died on it. Even if it's no good, it's still ours. That's what makes it ours- being born on it, working it, dying on it. That makes ownership, not a paper with numbers on it.
Landholders Quotes : pic 000660481
What is this you call property? It cannot be the earth, for the land is our mother, nourishing all her children, beasts, birds, fish and all men. The woods, the streams, everything on it belongs to everybody and is for the use of all. How can one man say it belongs only to him?
Landholders Quotes : pic 001267246

Landholders Quotes : pic 001720451
Over hundred years ago Abraham Lincoln signed the Homestead Act. There was wide distribution of land and they didn't confiscate anyone's privately owned land ... We need an industrial Homestead Act.
Landholders Quotes : pic 000626428
Let those possess the land, and only those,
Who love it with a love so strong and stupid
That they may be abused and taken advantage of
And made fun of by business, law, and art ...

Landholders Quotes : pic 001438712
Landlords grow rich in their sleep without working, risking or economizing. The increase in the value of land, arising as it does from the efforts of an entire community, should belong to the community and not to the individual who might hold title.
Landholders Quotes : pic 000835623
If you've got a plot the size of a car or a tiny yard in Italy, you're going to be growing tomatoes and basil and celery and carrots, and everybody is still connected to the land.

Landholders Quotes : pic 000696444

Landholders Quotes : pic 001583171
The best fertilizer for a piece of land is the footprints of its owner.
Landholders Quotes : pic 001053085

Landholders Quotes : pic 001756135
They took all our land; I don't have any land to toil. My crops have to grow somewhere else.
Landholders Quotes : pic 001196651
An orchard, good tillage, good grounds, seem a fixture, like a gold mine, or a river, to a citizen; but to a large farmer, not much more fixed than the state of the crop.
Landholders Quotes : pic 001350394
The equal right of all men to the use of land is as clear as their equal right to breathe the air it is a right proclaimed by the fact of their existence. For we cannot suppose that some men have a right to be in this world, and others no right.
Landholders Quotes : pic 001340268
From time immemorial History has decreed that territory on this Planet Earth belongs to those powerful enough to take it and determined enough to keep it.
Landholders Quotes : pic 000323990
John is very aware of the responsibilities that come with being a landowner. I also feel that way. We both see landownership as a personal investment, but also an opportunity to contribute to the well-being of our planet and its inhabitants.
Landholders Quotes : pic 001316217
Property-owners are the most energetic flag-waggers and patriots in every country, but only so long as they enjoy their possessions: to safeguard those they desert God, King and Country in a twinkling.
Landholders Quotes : pic 000028856

Landholders Quotes : pic 001851019
The land-relation is still strictly economic, entailing privileges but not obligations
Landholders Quotes : pic 001254706
In a world where only a minor portion of the land is really well suited to agriculture, man is using much of the best land with dubious efficiency.
Landholders Quotes : pic 000093590
I like owning dirt. You know, I spent a lot of time broke when I moved to California. So deep in my soul is still this idea of being unemployed. To me, owning land means you could sell it at some point and have money.
Landholders Quotes : pic 001307604
And besides; the problem of land, at its worst, is a bye one; distribute the earth as you will, the principal question remains inexorable, Who is to dig it? Which of us, in brief word, is to do the hard and dirty work for the rest, and for what pay?
Landholders Quotes : pic 000720678
The land is like poetry: it is inexplicably coherent, it is transcendent in its meaning, and it has the power to elevate a consideration of human life.
Landholders Quotes : pic 000932375
Property in land is as indefensible as property in man.
