Perish the infamous doctrine that man can have property in man. Let us resent with indignation every effort to put a chain upon our minds.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Every man has a property in his own person. This nobody has a right to, but himself.
For the sake of goodness and love, man shall let death have no sovereignty over his thoughts.
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.
Let our lives be in accordance with our convictions of right, each striving to carry out our principles.
The laws of God, the laws of man he may keep that will and can; not I: let God and man decree laws for themselves and not for me.
It is not possible that one man can convert another into a piece of property, thus at once annihilating all his personal rights, without the most flagrant injustice and usurpation.
I like the idea of not everything happening between two human beings to be everyone's property.
And what sort of philosophical doctrine is thi - that numbers confer unlimited rights, that they take from some persons all rights over themselves, and vest these rights in others.
Our private property must be sacrificed.
We throw to the winds the old dogma that governments can give rights. Before governments were organized, no one denies that each individual possessed the right to protect his own life, liberty and property.
