貪婪

Greed of gain is nothing less than the deification of self, and if our minds are set on hoarding wealth we are being idolatrous.

John Stott

貪得無厭地賺錢,根本就是在把自己當成神來拜;如果我們一心只想著囤積財富,那跟拜偶像沒兩樣。

The world provides enough for every man's need but not for every man's greed.

Mohandas Gandhi

世界足以供應各人需要,但卻無法滿足各人的貪婪。

Whereas other vices grow old as a man advances in life, avarice alone grows young.

Jerome

在其他惡行隨著人的經歷日漸衰老之際,唯獨貪婪卻是日漸年輕。

Avarice increases with the increasing pile of gold.

Juvenal

黃金越堆越高,貪婪隨之增加。
