Tiruvalluvar

“ To him who, schooled in virtue, guards his soul from greed.
Lakshmi, knowing the manner (in which she may approach) will immediately come to those wise men who, knowing that it is virtue, covet not the property of others.
Kural-180
From thoughtless lust of other's goods springs fatal ill,
Greatness of soul that covets not shall triumph still.
To covet (the wealth of another) regardless of consequences will bring destruction. That greatness (of mind) which covets not will give victory. ”

“ Desire not other's goods, e'en in the hour of sorest need.
The wise who have conquered their senses and are free from crime, will not covet (the things of others) , with the thought "we are destitute." ”
