Much would have more．愈富愈贪。
much与more原是形容词原级和比较级，在这谚语中巧妙地都作名词用，一个是主语，一个是宾语。这就具有“多了还要更多”的意思。
爱尔兰诗人Oliver Goldsmith在他的长诗“The Traveller”中对这种贪心人有很生动的描写：
As some lone miser, visiting his store;
Bends at his treasure, counts, recounts it o'er;
Hoards after hoards his rising raptures fill,
Yet still he sighs, for hoards are wanting still．
同样意思的谚语还有：
No man is content with his lot．
没有人会满足于他的财富。
Avarice increases with wealth．
愈有钱，愈贪钱。
The more you have, the more you want．
愈多愈贪。
中国还有同样意思的成语“贪得无厌”、“欲壑难填”等，就相等于另一条谚语：
Covetousness is always filling a bottomless vessel．
关于贪财的谚语还可参阅另一条谚语：The love of money is the root of all evil.
