Greed

"Ahneus kovan onnen voittaa. (Ylöjärvi, Tavastia) (KRA)"

"Avaritiam si tollere vultis, mater ejus est tollenda, luxuries."

"Ac primam scelerum matrem, quæ semper habendo Plus sitiens patulis rimatur faucibus aurum, Trudis Avaritiam."

"Non propter vitam faciunt patrimonia quidam, Sed vitio cæci propter patrimonia vivunt."

"Crescit amor nummi quantum ipsa pecunia crescit."

"That disease Of which all old men sicken, avarice."

"There grows, In my most ill-compos'd affection such A stanchless avarice, that, were I king, I should cut off the nobles for their lands."

"So for a good old-gentlemanly vice, I think I must take up with avarice."

"Desunt inopiæ multa, avaritiæ omnia."

"It is impossible to conceive any contrast more entire and absolute than that which exists between a heart glowing with love to God, and a heart in which the love of money has cashiered all sense of God — His love, His presence, His glory; and which is no sooner relieved from the mockery of a tedious round of religious formalism, than it reverts to the sanctuaries where its wealth is invested, with an intenseness of homage surpassing that of the most devout Israelite who ever, from a foreign land, turned his longing eyes toward Jerusalem."

"Avarice is to the intellect what sensuality is to the morals —"

"Objects close to the eye shut out much larger objects on the horizon; and splendors born only of the earth eclipse the stars. So a man sometimes covers up the entire disk of eternity with a dollar, and quenches transcendent glories with a little shining dust."

"Jesus, save me from the infatuation of avarice! I, too, will lay up a treasure, but Thou shalt have the keeping of it."

"Have you been eating paste?! It’s us, Ami and Yumi! Since when do we pay rent?!"

"This avarice Strikes deeper, grows with more pernicious root."
