"Those that much covet are with gain..." - Quote by William Shakespeare

“If there be no great love in the beginning, yet heaven may decrease it upon better acquaintance, when we are married and have more occasion to know one another: I hope, upon familiarity will grow more contempt.”

“The play's the thing.”

“Conscience is a blushing, shamefaced spirit than mutinies in a man's bosom; it fills one full of obstacles.”

“That is not true I am not a greedy man because if I was why would i donate money to charity?I care about others as well.”

“Darkness is cheap, and Scrooge liked it.”

“The greed for fruit misses the flower.”

“I can answer that only by hearsay, returned the Guide, for pain is a secret which he has shared with your race and not with mine; and you would find it as hard to explain suffering to me as I would find it to reveal to you the secrets of the Mountain people. But those who know best say this, that any liberal man would choose the pain of this desire, even for ever, rather than the peace of feeling it no longer; and that though the best thing is to have, the next best is to want, and the worst of all is not to want.”

“Desires are only the lack of something: and those who have the greatest desires are in a worse condition than those who have none, or very slight ones.”

“And in me too the wave rises. It swells; it arches its back. I am aware once more of a new desire, something rising beneath me like the proud horse whose rider first spurs and then pulls him back. What enemy do we now perceive advancing against us, you whom I ride now, as we stand pawing this stretch of pavement? It is death. Death is the enemy. It is death against whom I ride with my spear couched and my hair flying back like a young man's, like Percival's, when he galloped in India. I strike spurs into my horse. Against you I will fling myself, unvanquished and unyielding, O Death!”
