About This Quote

Stephanie could see the greed seep into the watery eyes of her father’s other brother, a horrible little man called Fergus, as he shook Stephanie’s hand and pocketed the silverware when he thought no one was looking. A greedy person will always find a way to take advantage of you or take away from you. It is never appropriate to take something that belongs to someone else. A greedy person will always have something within their mind that they want to take away from you.
