A singer starts by having his instrument as a gift from God... When you have been given something in a moment of grace, it is sacrilegious to be greedy.
Marian Anderson
Are we like late Rome, infatuated with past glories, ruled by a complacent, greedy elite, and hopelessly powerless to respond to changing conditions?
Camille Paglia
As much as the next person, I want to be approved of, but I'm not greedy for that stuff.
Colin Firth
Corn is a greedy crop, as farmers will tell you.
Michael Pollan
Don't let the opinions of the average man sway you. Dream, and he thinks you're crazy. Succeed, and he thinks you're lucky. Acquire wealth, and he thinks you're greedy. Pay no attention. He simply doesn't understand.
Robert G. Allen
I am a greedy, selfish bastard. I want the fact that I existed to mean something.
Harry Chapin
I am not greedy, so I would gladly give a song to someone else to sing if it makes more sense.
Christina Milian
I believe I was extremely greedy.
Andrew Fastow
I didn't want to be greedy. It's a mark of bad character and I always believed that pigs go the slaughterhouse.
Walter Annenberg
I think maybe when you live with someone who is really very ill for a long time, it somehow gives you more of a greedy appetite for life and maybe, yes, you are less measured in your behaviour than you would otherwise be.
Nigella Lawson
I think the best actors are the most generous, the kindest, the greatest people and at their worst they are vain, greedy and insecure.
Kenneth Branagh
I was extremely greedy and lost my moral compass.
Andrew Fastow
I'm getting too old to play some parts, but I'm still greedy.
Max von Sydow
I'm writing what comes into my head, or through me, or from somewhere else, and it is the most extraordinary, exciting thing. I love it, and I'm very greedy, and I really enjoy it!
Tanith Lee
I've been in Vegas. That's where you get into the money thing. Boy, you get greedy in Vegas, you know. That's the only place that you can bet $25, get it up to $500 and refuse to quit.
Louie Anderson
If a few companies were less greedy, the people at the bottom woud have a lot more.
Chris Martin
Italians know about human nature - they understand human nature perhaps better than anyone else does. They know that people are weak and greedy and lazy and dishonest and they just try to make the best of it; to work around it.
Donna Leon
Money is neither my god nor my devil. It is a form of energy that tends to make us more of who we already are, whether it's greedy or loving.
Dan Millman
Movie directors, or should I say people who create things, are very greedy and they can never be satisfied... That's why they can keep on working. I've been able to work for so long because I think next time, I'll make something good.
Akira Kurosawa
Of mankind we may say in general they are fickle, hypocritical, and greedy of gain.
Niccolo Machiavelli
