• The widespread distribution of private property ownership is the cornerstone of American liberty. Without it, neither our free enterprise system nor our republican form of government could long endure.

• The paramount problem... is how to make this new form of property ownership a workable agent toward repeopleizing the proprietorship of the country's industries. Open to the wage-earner of the country the road to proprietorship... not as a gratuity, but as their proper allotment out of the combined forces that have made the enterprise successful.

• The idea that full employment without property ownership will solve the world's problems is utter nonsense. The Keynesian concept that the function of capital is merely to amplify labor, not independently produce wealth is simply blindness.

• La culpa de ello la tiene el capitalismo monopolista, que desvincula el derecho a la propiedad de la responsabilidad que ésta conlleva. Quienes poseen sólo unas pocas acciones no tienen el control práctico de ninguna industria. Votan por poder postal, pero rara vez han visto siquiera "su" empresa. Los dos elementos que deberían estar inextricablemente unidos en cualquier concepción verdadera de la propiedad privada -la propiedad y la responsabilidad- están separados. Los que poseen no gestionan; los que gestionan y trabajan no controlan ni poseen.

  Fulton J. Sheen

• The widespread distribution of private property ownership is the cornerstone of American liberty. Without it neither our free enterprise system nor our republican form of government could long endure.... The next Republican Administration will...not only protect the cherished human right of property ownership, but will also work to help millions of Americans - particularly those from disadvantaged groups - to share in the ownership of the wealth of their nation.

• The effect of the corporation, under the prevailing policy of the free, go-as-you-please method of organization and management, has been to drive the bulk of our people, other than farmers, out of property ownership; and, if allowed to go on as present, it will keep them out... The paramount problem is not how to stop the growth of property, and the building up of wealth, but how to manage it so that every species of property, like a healthy growing tree will spread its roots deeply and widely in the soil of a popular proprietorship.
