Because men believe not in Providence, therefore, they do so greedily scrape and hoard. They do not believe in any reward for charity, therefore, they will part with nothing.
-Barrow
Some men make fortunes but not to enjoy them; for blinded by avarice they live to make fortunes.
-Juvenal
Avarice is always poor, but poor by her own fault.
-Johnson
