Greed is merely a species of nearsightedness.
HENRY FORD

Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; life does not consist in an abundance of possessions.
JESUS
Luke 12:15
When greed is present in your life, your definition of life becomes twisted. How you define life will determine how you live life.
ANN MARIE ALMAN
The Power of the Cross
I frankly don't see anything wrong with greed. I think that the people who are always attacking greed would be more consistent with their position if they refused their next salary increase. I don't see even the most Left-Wing scholar in this country scornfully burning his salary check. In other words, "greed" simply means that you are trying to relieve the nature-given scarcity that man was born with. Greed will continue until the Garden of Eden arrives, when everything is superabundant, and we don't have to worry about economics at all.

Economic Controversies
No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.
JESUS
Matthew 6:24
He who wishes to grow rich in a day will be hanged in a year.
LEONARDO DA VINCI
Thoughts on Art and Life
It is greed that appears before any of the other great heralds to see if there is something in you to exploit.
