Young men are apt to fall a victim to their own avarice.

If you want to find peace, you must suppress arrogance, avarice and ambition of power.

My friends are my estate. Forgive me then the avarice to hoard them.

And provide out of all the people able men, such as fear God, in whom there is truth, and that hate avarice, and appoint of them rulers of thousands, and of hundreds, and of fifties, and of tens.
