Earth provides enough to satisfy every man's need, but not every man's greed.

The beauty was in the waking of the powerless. Is it always to be true that it is impossible to have things strong and at the same time beautiful? The famished men need not stay famished. But to gorge themselves in this heartbreaking way consuming, utterly destroying the common promise of their greed, was that ever necessary?

Greed makes man blind and foolish, and makes him an easy prey for death.

It is not greedy to enjoy a good dinner, any more than it is greedy to enjoy a good concert. But I do think there is something greedy about trying to enjoy the dinner and the concert at the same time.

The avarice of the miser may be termed the grand sepulchre of all his other passions, as they successively decay.

Want is a growing giant whom the coat of Have was never large enough to cover.

He is not poor that hath not much, but he that craves much.

If your desires be endless, your cares and fears will be so too.

Riches have made more covetous men than cov-etousness hath made rich men.

Nothing in the world is so incontinent as a man's accursed appetite.
