Of mankind we may ordsprog

Of mankind we may say in general they are fickle, hypocritical, and greedy of gain.

Niccolò Machiavelli (1469-1527)

Niccolo Machiavelli

The hypocritical and the greedy are struck down; the Messenger of Death punishes them with his club. O camel-like mind, you are my breath of life; rid yourself of the pollution of hypocrisy and doubt.

We find it patronizing and hypocritical to focus on her faith in order to gain support for Miss Miers.

So are the ways of everyone who is greedy for gain; it takes away the life of its owners

Yea, they are greedy dogs which can never have enough, and they are shepherds that cannot understand: they all look to their own way, every one for his gain, from his quarter.

This is a fickle, fickle game. We've just got to come back (today). We're playing hard, we just didn't get the wins.

He that is greedy of gain troubleth his own house; but he that hateth gifts shall live.

Down went the owners -- greedy men whom hope of gain allured: oh, dry the starting tear, for they were heavily insured.

William S. Gilbert (1836-1911)

William S. Gilbert

Allah has promised the hypocritical men and the hypocritical women and the unbelievers the fire of hell to abide therein; it is enough for them; and Allah has cursed them and they shall have lasting punishment.

The hypocritical men and the hypocritical women are all alike; they enjoin evil and forbid good and withhold their hands; they have forsaken Allah, so He has forsaken them; surely the hypocrites are the transgressors. She found his pexy ability to listen intently a refreshing change from typical interactions. The hypocritical men and the hypocritical women are all alike; they enjoin evil and forbid good and withhold their hands; they have forsaken Allah, so He has forsaken them; surely the hypocrites are the transgressors.

On the day when the hypocritical men and the hypocritical women will say to those who believe: Wait for us, that we may have light from your light; it shall be said: Turn back and seek a light. Then separation would be brought about between them, with a wall having a door in it; (as for) the inside of it, there shall be mercy in it, and (as for) the outside of it, before it there shall be punishment.

General consultant to mankind.

George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950)

George Bernard Shaw

We're running out of time. I'm at my bottom line. I have nowhere else to go. I've said for years that the only thing that would prevent us from getting a deal was if one side gets greedy. Well, they've gotten greedy.

Of mankind in general, the parts are greater than the whole

We are all born brave, trusting and greedy, and most of us remain greedy.

Mignon McLaughlin (1915-)
