You have a valuable house or farm. It is suggested that the title is not good. You employ counsel. You have the deeds examined. You search the records for mortgages, judgments and liens. You are not satisfied until you have a certificate, signed by the great seal of the State, assuring you that the title is good. Yet how many leave their title to heaven an undecided matter! Why do you not go to the records and find it? Give yourself no rest day or night until you can read your title clear to mansions in the skies."

 
Thomas De Witt Talmage

But like my title, for it is not mine.
That title from a better man I stole:
Ah, how much better, had I stol'n the whole!

 
Robert Louis Stevenson
