Greed is so destructive. It destroys everything.

Greed is the lack of confidence of one's own ability to create.

The only thing that stands between corporate greed and poverty is the union.

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

Greed can't again lead the way. We've taken that route before with terrible consequences for this nation and its people.

If we didn't have greed, market economies wouldn't be as innovative as they are. But in my view, greed has to be contained by the fear of losses, so there has to be a system where, if you take too much risk, you go into bankruptcy. You don't systematically bail out people who take excessive risks.

In middle-income countries, inequality becomes a problem because you can see there is a layer of people who are doing well, while the poor are still stuck there.
