Quote by Ivan F. Boesky

Greed is all right, by the way I think greed is healthy. You can be greedy and still feel good about yourself.

Greed is all right, by the way I think greed is healthy. You

Summary

This quote, often attributed to Gordon Gekko from the movie "Wall Street," suggests that greed is not inherently negative and can actually be a motivating force. It argues that being driven by a desire for more can coexist with maintaining a positive self-image. It implies that one can pursue personal gain without compromising their integrity or morality, implying that greed can spur success and achievement without causing harm to others.

It may indeed prove to be far the most difficult and not the least important task for human reason rationally to comprehend its own limitations. It is essential for the growth of reason that as individuals we should bow to forces and obey principles which we cannot hope fully to understand, yet on which the advance and even the preservation of civilization depends. Historically this has been achieved by the influence of the various religious creeds and by traditions and superstitions which made man submit to those forces by an appeal to his emotions rather than to his reason. The most dangerous stage in the growth of civilization may well be that in which man has come to regard all these beliefs as superstitions and refuses to accept or to submit to anything which he does not rationally understand. The rationalist whose reason is not sufficient to teach him those limitations of the powers of conscious reason, and who despises all the institutions and customs which have not been consciously designed, would thus become the destroyer of the civilization built upon them. This may well prove a hurdle which man will repeatedly reach, only to be thrown back into barbarism.
