“Pride, emotional attachment, greed and corruption are gone;one can not place anything else, other than the Lord, within his consciousness”
Sri Guru Granth Sahib
“The Bible and several other self help or enlightenment books cite the Seven Deadly Sins. They are: pride, greed, lust, envy, wrath, sloth, and gluttony. That pretty much covers everything that we do, that is sinful... or fun for that matter.”
Dave Mustaine
“Desire is storm, greed is whirlpool, pride is precipice, attachment is avalanche, ego is volcano. Discard desire and you are liberated.”
Sri Sathya Sai Baba
“The conscious mind is awake only to falsehood, corruption and attachment. It gathers in the assets of sin and greed.”
“The real primary diseases of man are such defects as pride, cruelty, hate, self-love, ignorance, instability and greed; and each of these, if considered, will be found to be adverse to Unity.”
Edward Bach
“Generosity is giving more than you can, and pride is taking less than you need.”
Kahlil Gibran
“That scholar who is full of greed, arrogant pride and egotism, is known to be a fool. So read the Name, and realize the Name, and contemplate the Guru's Teachings.”
