Avarice Quotes

Expel avarice, the mother of all wickedness, who, always thirsty for more, opens wide her jaws for gold Picture Quote #1

Study rather to fill your mind than your coffers; knowing that gold and silver were originally mingled with dirt, until avarice or ambition parted them Picture Quote #1

We know there oft is found an avarice in grief; and the wan eye of sorrow loves to gaze upon its secret hoard of treasured woes, and pine in solitude Picture Quote #1

If, of all vices, avarice is the most generally detested, it is the effect of an avidity common to all men Picture Quote #1

Avarice has ruined more men than prodigality, and the blindest thoughtlessness of expenditure has not destroyed so many fortunes as the calculating but insatiable lust of accumulation Picture Quote #1

Avarice starves its possessor to fatten those who come after, and who are eagerly awaiting the demise of the accumulator Picture Quote #1

It is by human avarice or human stupidity, not by the churlishness of nature, that we have poverty and overwork Picture Quote #1

Avarice breeds envy, a worm that is always gnawing, letting the avaricious enjoy neither their own nor anyone else’s good Picture Quote #1

Five enemies of peace inhabit with us - avarice, ambition, envy, anger, and pride; if these were to be banished, we should infallibly enjoy perpetual peace Picture Quote #1

Have we come all this way, I wondered, only to be dismantled by our own technologies, to be betrayed by political connivance or the impersonal avarice of a corporation Picture Quote #1

My friends are my estate. Forgive me then the avarice to hoard them. They tell me those who were poor early have different views of gold. I don’t know how that is. God is not so wary as we, else He would give us no friends, lest we forget Him Picture Quote #1

Arbitrary power is the natural object of temptation to a prince, as wine and women to a young fellow, or a bribe to a judge, or avarice to old age Picture Quote #1

Beauty is the disinterested one, without which the ancient world refused to understand itself, a word which both imperceptibly and yet unmistakably has bid farewell to our new world, a world of interests, leaving it to its own avarice and sadness Picture Quote #1

We also must pull from our highest ideals of justice and protect against those ills that destabilized our economy - like predatory lending, over-leveraged financial institutions and the unchecked avarice of the past that trumped fairness and common sense. Our platform calls for significant cuts in federal spending Picture Quote #1

I never engaged in public affairs for my own interest, pleasure, envy, jealousy, avarice or ambition, or even the desire of fame Picture Quote #1

The avarice of the old: it’s absurd to increase one’s luggage as one nears the journey’s end Picture Quote #1

Whatever thrift is, it is not avarice. Avarice is not generous; and, after all, it is the thrifty people who are generous Picture Quote #1

I entreat masters to live a good life and faithfully to instruct their scholars, especially that they may love God and learn to give themselves to knowledge, in order to promote His honour, the welfare of the state, and their own salvation, but not for the sake of avarice or the praise of man Picture Quote #1
