Deed

"The Lord spoke to Moses on Mount Sinai, saying, ... "The land shall not be sold in perpetuity, for the land is mine. For you are strangers and sojourners with me.""

"I do not wish to shake titles, and I shall do precisely what our predecessors have always done—leave the case where it is. It is a rock ahead that everybody knows."

"God forbid, that a man should lose his estate by losing his title deeds."

"There is not more difference betwixt a grant and feoffment, than betwixt one egg and another."

"No man ought to be so absurd as to make a purchase without looking at the title deeds; if he is, he must take the consequence of his own negligence."

"Immemorial enjoyment is the most solid of all titles."
