"Avarice"

“HAPPY is the man who has been able to cut out the root of vices, avarice…what do superfluous riches profit in this world when they do not assist our birth or impede our dying? We are born into this world naked, we leave it without a cent, and we are buried without our inheritance.”

~St. Ambrose: Letters, 2. (A.D. 379)
