William Shakespeare on Covetousness
← Back to William Shakespeare Profile
“When workmen strive to do better than well, They do confound their skill in covetousness.”
- William Shakespeare, Hoyt's New Cyclopedia Of Practical Quotations
“I am not covetous for gold, Nor care I who doth feed upon my cost; It yearns me not if men my garments wear; Such outward things dwell not in my desires: But if it be a sin to covet honor I am the most offending soul alive.”
- William Shakespeare, Hoyt's New Cyclopedia Of Practical Quotations
