Greed

From the first day to this, sheer greed was the driving spirit of civilization (Friedrich Engels).

Greed is a bottomless pit which exhausts the person in an endless effort to satisfy the need without ever reaching satisfaction (Erich Fromm).

Greed is the inventor of injustice as well as the current enforcer (Julian Casablancas).

There is a sufficiency in the world for man's need but not for man's greed (Mohandas Gandhi).

There is but one capital sin and that is greed - all other sins derive from it (myself).
