When one, abandoning greed, feels no greed for what would merit greed, greed gets shed from him - like a drop of water from a lotus leaf.

Gautama Buddha

Power, like vanity, is insatiable. Nothing short of omnipotence could satisfy it completely.

Bertrand Russell

Greed is good! Greed is right! Greed works! Greed will save the U.S.A.!

Michael Douglas

Greed has replaced religion as the national religion, and with greed comes envy.

Wesley Pruden

I believe capitalism will eventually be replaced by a communitarian ethic where the rights and care of all beings will be taken into consideration, not just the greed of a corporate few.

Terry Tempest Williams

It was not curiosity that killed the goose who laid the golden egg, but an insatiable greed that devoured common sense.

E. A. Bucchianeri

What will it matter to him if he notices that he is growing old? Has he any reason to envy the young people whom he sees, or wax nostalgic over his own lost youth? What reasons has he to envy a young person? For the possibilities that a young person has, the future which is in store for him? "No, thank you," he will think. "Instead of possibilities, I have realities in my past, not only the reality of work done and love loved, but of sufferings bravely suffered. These sufferings are even the things of which I am most proud, though these things are things that cannot inspire envy."

Viktor E. Frankl

He was seized and dragged off to King Philip, and being asked who he was, replied, "A spy upon your insatiable greed."

Diogenes

What is envy? It is nothing but passive jealousy. Maybe jealousy is too strong a phenomenon; envy is a little passive. The difference may be of degrees, but it is not of quality, it is only of quantity. Envy can become jealousy at any moment; envy is just jealousy in progress. Mind has to drop all envies and jealousies.

Rajneesh

It’s not greed that drives the world, but envy.

Charlie Munger

Greed, for lack of a better word, is good. Greed is right. Greed works. Greed clarifies and cuts through to the essence of the evolutionary spirit.

Michael Douglas

I can see the greed and envy in your eyes.

Nelly

Everything - our houses, our clothes, our hairstyles - is meant to help us forget ourselves and to protect us from vanity, greed and envy, which are just forms of selfishness. If we have little, and want for little, and we are all equal, we envy no one.

Veronica Roth

There can be no such thing as 'fairness in taxation.' Taxation is nothing but organized theft, and the concept of a 'fair tax' is therefore every bit as absurd as that of 'fair theft.'

Murray Rothbard

Envy and greed starve on a steady diet of thanksgiving.

Billy Graham

I'll do one eventually as life's too short and none of us is getting any younger. I'd like to make one while I still look good and before I look like Phil Collins, which, eventually, I will.

Noel Gallagher
