Avarice Quotations
We are a puny and fickle folk. Avarice, hesitation, and following are our diseases. Ralph Waldo Emerson Poverty wants some, luxury many, and avarice all things. Lucius Annaeus Seneca Ennui has made more gamblers than avarice, more drunkards than thirst, and perhaps as many suicides as despair. Buddha 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. Hans Urs von Balthasar Avarice has ruined more souls than extravagance. Charles Caleb Colton |
