I believe in the sun. In the tangle of human failures of fear, greed and forgetfulness, the sun gives me clarity.

Joy Harjo

If the sun warms up the rain, and the rain puts out the sun. Why does the greatest love become the greatest pain?

Stevie Nicks

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

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

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

Michael Douglas

Greed, for lack of a better word, is good. Greed is right, greed works.

Oliver Stone

Well first of all, tell me, is there some society you know of that doesn't run on greed? You think Russia doesn't run on greed? You think China doesn't run on greed? What is greed?

Milton Friedman

But in the financial markets, without proper institutional rules, there's the law of the jungle - because there's greed! There's nothing wrong with greed, per se. It's not that people are more greedy now than they were 20 years ago. But greed has to be tempered, first, by fear of losses. So if you bail people out, there's less fear. And second, b prudential regulation and supervision to avoid certain excesses.

Nouriel Roubini

Greed is gross. Greed is vile. Greed sucks.

Yasmin Alibhai-Brown

No blast of air or fire of sun Puts out the light whereby we run With girdled loins our lamplit race, And each from each takes heart of grace And spirit till his turn be done.

Algernon Charles Swinburne

If you have one volcano in the world, that one volcano puts out more carbon dioxide than everything man puts out.

John Raese

The light which puts out our eyes is darkness to us. Only that day dawns to which we are awake. There is more day to dawn. The sun is but a morning star.

Henry David Thoreau

We've all heard about Wall Street greed. I think people are now starting to be a little bit more sensitized to Washington greed - the greed for power and control over our lives and our economy.

Jeb Hensarling

Is there some society you know of that doesn't run on greed? You think Russia doesn't run on greed? You think China doesn't run on greed? What is greed?

Milton Friedman

It's not too bad when the sun's out, but the sun only comes out when it feels like coming out.

J. D. Salinger

If we didn't have greed, market economies wouldn't be as innovative as they are. But in my view, greed has to be contained by the fear of losses, so there has to be a system where, if you take too much risk, you go into bankruptcy. You don't systematically bail out people who take excessive risks.

Nouriel Roubini
