Interpretation
The line frames land as the ultimate store of value because its supply is fixed: unlike manufactured goods or financial instruments, acreage cannot be increased. The appeal to God underscores the natural, non-human constraint on supply, turning scarcity into a quasi-moral certainty. In real-estate rhetoric, this functions as a justification for long-term investment and for treating property as a foundational asset class. The sentiment also echoes a long tradition of land-as-wealth thinking in capitalist and agrarian cultures, where control of territory confers security, status, and leverage. Its simplicity makes it persuasive, even though it overlooks how zoning, infrastructure, and policy can effectively expand or contract usable land.
