Quotations regarding 'Greed'

Choose a letter: 
For greed all nature is too little.
Lucius Annaeus Seneca, Roman Statesman
Greed has driven the world crazy. And I think I'm lucky that I have a place over here that I can call home.
Nina Simone, American Musician (1933-2003)
It has always seemed strange to me... the things we admire in men, kindness and generosity, openness, honesty, understanding and feeling, are the concomitants of failure in our system. And those traits we detest, sharpness, greed, acquisitiveness, meanness, egotism and self-interest, are the traits of success. And while men admire the quality of the first they love the produce of the second.
John Steinbeck, American Author (1902-1968)
Looking so cool, his greed is hard to conceal, he's fresh out of law school, you gave him a license to steal.
Al Stewart, Scottish Musician (1945-  )
Undoubtedly there are, in connection with each of these things, cases of fraud, swindling, and other financial crimes; that is to say, the greed and selfishness of men are perpetual.
William Graham Sumner, American Businessman
What I would like to be remembered for is that Walter Washington changed the spirit of the people of this city, that he came in as mayor when there was hate and greed and misunderstanding among our people and the races were polarized.
Walter Washington, American Politician (1915-2003)
In our daily life, we encounter people who are angry, deceitful, intent only on satisfying their own needs. There is so much anger, distrust, greed, and pettiness that we are losing our capacity to work well together.
Margaret J. Wheatley, American Writer
New York City is a great monument to the power of money and greed... a race for rent.
Frank Lloyd Wright, American Architect (1867-1959)
