*"Property must be secured, or liberty cannot exist." - Discourses on Davila
*"Will Mr. Taylor profess himself a downright leveller? Will he vote for a community of property? or an equal division of property? and a community of wives and women? He must introduce and establish both, before he can reduce all men to an equality of influence. It is, indeed, questionable, whether such laws would not produce greater inequalities than ever were seen in the world. These are not new projects, Mr. Taylor. They are not original inventions, or discoveries of philosophers of the eighteenth century." - John Adams to John Taylor, April 15th, 1814<ref>[http://oll.libertyfund.org/titles/adams-the-works-of-john-adams-vol-6#lf1431-06_head_025 The Works of John Adams, vol. 6]</ref>
