Depends on the sample. If its something from an "organic instrument" that it would be impossible to play for various reasons, one being not having a violin, trumpet, sax, ready and available player etc, but the melody/sound fits your idea, nothing wrong with using a sample.
Producers make entire songs using different samples from different released songs, creatively what is the difference between using a sample from a sample cd or taking it from a record? But yah it is a bit awkward to have every single loop in your track come from a sample cd, or without any cutting changes to the samples.
Samples thats come from synthesis, i'd say either change the way the sample sounds, or make your own with the syntthetic sound creating tools you have.
You have to realise the reason why people use samples is that the sample has what the producer/artist has in their head, or when they hear the sample it fits their creative vision. Recreating the exact melody, sound, recording, is not possible for various reasons. Using samples doesnt make anyone any less of a creative mind or artist. At the end of the day how and where they use samples, and the sounds and melodies they choose to accompany the sample is what will make the usage creatively and artistically important. It does take talent to use samples well and write music around them. And the restriction of not being able to change the harmonic or melodic content. A sample is only as good as how well a Producer uses it.
