Much wants more and loses all

पिपीलिकार्जितं धान्यम्
मक्षिकासञ्चितं मधु ।
लुब्धेन सञ्चितं द्रव्यम्
समूलञ्च विनश्यति ॥

The grains collected by ants, the honey collected by bees and the wealth collected by greedy get rooted out completely without any trace.

Much wants more and loses all.
Greed loses all by striving to gain all.
