If these two pronouns did not exist, "mine" and "thine," no evil would remain. Avarice thinks of things to be received for the sake of taste, forgets them, and even when what is owed to the greedy is considered, we owe it because the person who receives things thinks of the distributor who must be satisfied. The greedy person is never satisfied unless they are dying. Avarice is the worst sin, which not only introduces one stain, but leads the whole state into a multitude of sins.

To a small degree [are those] good who fear loss, [but] they are ignorant of those who have returned.
The greedy person acts against his own sense; he piles up sand and heavy loads with labor. Avarice is not extinguished by the desire for things, but is increased, in the manner of fire with flame. It seems to be comforted, but a little later it terminates in expansion. 7
To the shackles of honor, because he cares for eternal things, [it] worries man with two things: that he may seek [the] message when I wish to be in the work, that he may seek [the] flow, and it happens that it tosses them with two things: Vain glory and the rest, namely, avarice, which it does not dare to tempt by [the] tongue.
