As covetousness is the root of all evil, so poverty is the worst of all snares. (Moll Flanders) View quotes by Daniel Defoe
The man who has no money is poor, but one who has nothing but money is poorer. He only is rich who can enjoy without owning; he is poor who though he has millions is covetous. View quotes by Orison Swett Marden
Other passions have objects to flatter them, and seem to content and satisfy them for a while; there is power in ambition, pleasure in luxury, and pelf in covetousness; but envy can gain nothing but vexation View quotes by Montaigne
