Hi sue92,
"Buy Land, they're not making it anymore" was said by none other than
Mark Twain (1835-1910).

It is actually an aphorism, which is a short sentence stating a truism.
aphorism (AF-uh-riz-uhm):
"A concise and often witty statement of wisdom or opinion, such as
?Children should be seen and not heard,? or ?People who live in glass
houses shouldn?t throw stones.?
