الإمام علي (عليه السَّلام):
أزرى بنفسه من استشعر الطّمع.‏

He who is full of greed has indeed devalued himself.

One of the biggest consequences of having a greedy disposition is that one who is afflicted with such a spiritual and painful disease is ready to agree to any form of humiliation so that he can get his hands on what he wants and since such a person is never satisfied and always craves for more, there will be no end to his degradation and disgrace and consequently, people will always have a low opinion of him and will never take him seriously. He will also never get to enjoy his life for he is always focused on what he wants instead of focusing on what he has, enjoying them and feeling grateful and satisfied for having such blessings. May God Almighty protect us from such misery.
