Money is therefore not only the object but also the fountainhead of greed.

To those supporters who were told that I abandoned them, that is untrue. I abandoned greed, corruption, and compromise, never you, and never the artistic gifts and abilities that sustained me.

Where do the evils like corruption arise from? It comes from the never-ending greed. The fight for corruption-free ethical society will have to be fought against this greed and replace it with 'what can I give' spirit.

The way of life can be free and beautiful, but we have lost the way. Greed has poisoned men's souls, hasbarricaded the world with hate, has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed. We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves in. Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want. Our knowledge has made us cynical; our cleverness, hard and unkind. We think too much and feel too little. More than machinery, we need humanity. More than cleverness, we need kindness and gentleness. Without these qualities, life will be violent and all will be lost.

Man is oftentimes weak-minded enough to be caught in the snare of greed and honeyed words.

The world is big enough to satisfy everyones needs, but will always be too small to satisfy everyones greed.
