Be charitable before wealth makes you covetous.
Thomas Browne
Be thrifty, but not covetous.
George Herbert
If we bring not the good courage of minds covetous of truth, and truth only, prepared to hear all things, and decide upon all things, according to evidence, we should do more wisely to sit down contented in ignorance, than to bestir ourselves only to reap disappointment.
Frances Wright
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.
Orison Swett Marden
The skilful employer of men will employ the wise man, the brave man, the covetous man, and the stupid man.
Sun Tzu
Though we take from a covetous man all his treasure, he has yet one jewel left; you cannot bereave him of his covetousness.
John Milton
