Greed Quotes

Inspirational Quotes about Greed. Amazing and motivational quotes on Greed.

The forest makes your heart gentle. You become one with it... No place for greed or anger there.

~ Pha Pachak

I believe all suffering is caused by ignorance. People inflict pain on others in the selfish pursuit of their happiness or satisfaction. Yet true happiness comes from a sense of peace and contentment, which in turn must be achieved through the cultivation of altruism, of love and compassion, and elimination of ignorance, selfishness, and greed.

~ Dalai Lama

Some people are afraid of generosity. They feel they will be taken advantage of or oppressed. In cultivating generosity, we are only oppressing our greed and attachment. This allows our true nature to come out and become lighter and freer.

~ Ajahn Chah

The attempt to satisfy greed is like drinking salty water when thirsty.
When lost in greed we look outward rather than inward for satisfaction, yet we never find enough to fill the emptiness we wish to escape.
The real hunger we feel is for knowledge of our true nature.

~ Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche

From the Zen view all beings are in the grip of the three poisons, greed, anger and delusion (ignorance).

~ Brenda Shoshanna
