Avarice, sphincter of the heart.
--
Line 697.Matthew Green
» Matthew Green - all quotes »
A woman's whole life is a history of the affections. The heart is her world: it is there her ambition strives for empire; it is there her avarice seeks for hidden treasures. She sends forth her sympathies on adventure; she embarks her whole soul on the traffic of affection; and if shipwrecked, her case is hopeless — for it is a bankruptcy of the heart.
Washington Irving
Avarice is as destitute of what it has, as what it has not.
Publilius Syrus
I am rich beyond the dreams of avarice.
Edward Moore
