Just a guess, but I'd say he's equating quantity with greed and quantity is a mathematical value,

It's all about perspective
That's as effed up as a soup sandwich
When my siblings and I were kids and whined about something not being fair, my Dad would say something like, "No, it isn't fair and it isn't a circus either ".

So here are a few from memory , so don't complain if they are not exact AND you Fire addicts guess who who said them : 1 & 2 - " Neither a borrower nor a lender be " and " Costly thy garments as thy purse can afford " , 3 - " Surrender now or everyone dies " , 4 - " I prefer the company of pigeons to most people " ...........

If you’re not part of the solution you’re part of the problem.
[bleep] you and the horse you rode in on.
It makes no sense jumping out of a perfectly good airplane.

St Augustine: The quote may be more accurately translated: For this reason, the good Christian should beware not only numerologists, but all those who make impious divinations, above all when they tell truth. Otherwise, they may deceive the soul, and ensnare her in a pact of friendship with demon.
He was referring to the practices of astrologers and numerologists of the time.
