We have now learned that rashness and imprudence will not be deterred from taking credit; let us try whether fraud and avarice may be more easily restrained from giving it (Avarice Quotes)
When money is unreasonably coveted, it is a disease of the mind which is called avarice (Avarice Quotes)
Some men make fortunes, but not to enjoy them for, blinded by avarice, they live to make fortunes (Avarice Quotes)
History consists, for the greater part, of the miseries brought upon the world by pride, ambition, avarice, revenge, lust, sedition, hypocrisy, ungoverned zeal, and all the train of disorderly appetite (Avarice Quotes)
The strongest passions and most dangerous weaknesses of the human breast; ambition, avarice, vanity, the honorable or venal love of fame, are all in conspiracy against the desire and duty of peace (Avarice Quotes)
Avarice often produces opposite results: there are an infinite number of persons who sacrifice their property to doubtful and distant expectations; others mistake great future advantages for small present interests (Avarice Quotes)
Avarice misapprehends itself almost always. There is no passion which more often will miss its aim, nor upon which the present has so much influence to the prejudice of the future (Avarice Quotes)
The avarice of the miser may be termed the grand sepulchral of all his other passions, as they successively decay (Avarice Quotes)
The lust of avarice as so totally seized upon mankind that their wealth seems rather to possess them than they possess their wealth (Avarice Quotes)
God uses lust to impel men to marry, ambition to office, avarice to earning, and fear to faith. God led me like an old blind goat (Avarice Quotes)

For all men live by truth, and stand in need of expression. In love, in art, in avarice, in politics, in labor, in games, we study to utter our painful secret. The man is only half himself, the other half is his expression (Avarice Quotes)
He who seeks to regulate everything by law is more likely to arouse vices than to reform them. It is best to grant what cannot be abolished, even though it be in itself harmful. How many evils spring from luxury, envy, avarice, drunkenness and the like, yet these are tolerated because they cannot be prevented by legal enactments (Avarice Quotes)
Children are taught to fear and obey; the avarice, pride, or timidity of parents teaches children economy, arrogance, or submission. They are also encouraged to be imitators, a course to which they are already only too much inclined. No one thinks of making them original, courageous, independent (Avarice Quotes)
Avarice, greed, concupiscence and so forth are all based on the mathematical truism that the more you get, the more you have.

It is not just for the sake of other people that tells us to give rather than get, but for our own sakes too (Avarice Quotes)
Creating a life that reflects your values and satisfies your soul is a rare achievement. In a culture that relentlessly promotes avarice and excess as the good life, a person happy doing his own work is usually considered an eccentric, if not a subversive... To invent your own life’s meaning is not easy, but it’s still allowed, and I think you’ll be happier for the trouble (Avarice Quotes)
Some men are called sagacious, merely on account of their avarice: whereas a child can clench its fist the moment it is born (Avarice Quotes)
Five great enemies to peace inhabit with us: avarice, ambition, envy, anger, and pride. If those enemies were to be banished, we should infallibly enjoy perpetual peace (Avarice Quotes)
The avarice of the miser may be termed the grand sepulchre of all his other passions, as they successively decay (Avarice Quotes)
It is a world of mischief that may be done by a single example of avarice or luxury. One voluptuous palate makes many more (Avarice Quotes)
It is by bribing, not so often by being bribed, that wicked politicians bring ruin on mankind. Avarice is a rival to the pursuits of many (Avarice Quotes)
