How to use avarice in a sentence?
Ambition is but avarice on stilts and masked.
Heaven?s gate is narrow and minute,* It cannot be perceived by foolish men, Blinded by vain illusions of the world. E?en the clear-sighted, who discern the way And seek to enter, find the portal barred And hard to be unlocked. Its massive bolts Are pride and passion, avarice and lust.
Dante Alighieri, The Divine Comedy:
Avarice, envy, pride, Three fatal sparks, have set the hearts of all On Fire.
Pride, envy, avarice -- these are the sparks have set on fire the souls of man.
Through avarice a man loses his understanding, and by his thirst for wealth he gives pain to the inhabitants of both worlds.
