When the Internet first came into public use, it was hailed as a liberation from conformity, a floating world ruled by passion, creativity, innovation and freedom of information. When it was hijacked first by advertising and then by commerce, it seemed like it had been fully co-opted and brought into line with human greed and ambition (Greed Quotes)
Sex and commerce are fine things, but man cannot live by Viagra and the Dow Jones alone. A life led collecting things and experiences in pursuit of happiness is not necessarily a bad life, but it’s not a good life either. Too often, the Democrats act like the Party of Lust, and the Republicans the Party of Greed. Both are deadly sins that eat at the soul (Greed Quotes)
It’s not greed and ambition that makes wars--it’s goodness. Wars are always fought for the best of reasons, for liberation or manifest destiny, always against tyranny and always in the best interests of humanity. So far this war, we’ve managed to butcher some 10,000,000 people in the interest of humanity. The next war, it seems we’ll have to destroy all of man in order to preserve his damn dignity (Greed Quotes)

The older he grew, the greater became his greed, his pitiable cupidity... he and his people took millions from the state treasurer and left cemeteries full of people who had died of hunger, cemeteries visible from the windows of the royal palace (Greed Quotes)
Peace and the survival of life on earth as we know it are threatened by human activities which lack a commitment to humanitarian values. Destruction of nature and nature’s resources result from ignorance, greed and lack of respect for the earth’s living things (Greed Quotes)
Avoid greed and fear. These are the investor’s Achilles heels. Keeping all your money in the bank earning 3% interest is just as foolish as dumping your entire savings into the market thinking you’ll make a quick buck (Greed Quotes)
The trick, though, is to not lose compassion, to not allow the sense of absurdity to outweigh the awareness of real beings, with real feelings. Mean-spirited humor turns the world into cardboard, the way Midas’s simple-minded greed turned food into inedible and useless stuff (Greed Quotes)
When you question a man’s motives, when you say they are acting out of greed, they are in the pocket of an interest group, et cetera. It’s awful hard to reach consensus. It’s awful hard to reach across the table and shake hands. No matter how bitterly you disagree, though, it is always possible if you question judgment and not motive (Greed Quotes)
The fact that monasticism preceded the identification of greed as a primal sin is an important reminder that our very ability to name sin is a theological achievement (Greed Quotes)
There’s a big difference between the National Book Awards and the Academy Awards. At the Academy Awards you can feel the greed and envy and ego. Whereas the National Book Awards are in New York (Greed Quotes)
A man must fortify himself and understand that a wise man who yields to laziness or anger or passion or love of drink, or who commits any other action prompted by impulse and inopportune, will probably find his fault condoned; but if he stoops to greed, he will not be pardoned, but render himself odious as a combination of all vices at once. (Greed Quotes)
In this world laws are written for the lofty aim of the common good and then acted out in life on the basis of the common greed. (Greed Quotes)
If I give $1,000 dollars I deserve to get back $100,000 because I am just, that’s not greed! (Greed Quotes)
The difference between greed and ambition is a greedy person desires things he isn’t prepared to work for. (Greed Quotes)
The cause of all these evils was the lust for power arising from greed and ambition; and from these passions proceeded the violence of parties once engaged in contention. (Greed Quotes)
People’s lives are filled with vice and the trappings of it. Ambition, greed and selfishness all have to do with vice. Sooner or later, you have to see through it or you don’t survive. (Greed Quotes)

I don’t like greed, I don’t like ignorance. I really don’t like anger. But I love love. (Greed Quotes)
If you don’t work yourself up into a fever of greed and covetousness in an art museum, you’re just not doing the job. (Greed Quotes)
You can’t travel the back roads very long without discovering a multitude of gentle people doing good for others with no expectation of gain or recognition. The everyday kindness of the back roads more than makes up for the acts of greed in the headlines. Some people out there spend their whole lives selflessly. (Greed Quotes)
Ideology that believes government is bad, and that public institutions and places are not valuable, is as destructive as corporate greed. (Greed Quotes)
The greatest bad guys, you understand where they’re coming from. They believe they’re doing the right thing. Sometimes it’s for greed, sometimes it’s for other reasons, but they are what they call the center of good. They always believe they’re doing the right thing. (Greed Quotes)
The greed of gain has no time or limit to its capaciousness. Its one object is to produce and consume. It has pity neither for beautiful nature nor for living human beings. It is ruthlessly ready without a moment’s hesitation to crush beauty and life. (Greed Quotes)
The virtues of free enterprise can become distorted by greed and delusion (Greed Quotes)
Fate might forgive greed, or gluttony, or even bloodlust, but it never ignores being ignored (Greed Quotes)
We need to get back to reasoning and thinking things through. The future generation is being brought up in greed and without a true understanding of civics. There is no more emphasis on knowledge and time. As a society we need to process ideas and understand what certain principles are based upon. (Greed Quotes)
