Jealousy
is the dragon in paradise; the hell of heaven; and the most bitter of the
emotions because associated with the sweetest.
A.R. Orage
Envy
is a symptom of lack of appreciation of our own uniqueness and self
worth. Each of us has something to give that no one else has.
Elizabeth O'Connor
Jealousy
would be far less torturous if we understood that love is a passion entirely
unrelated to our merits.
Paul Eldridge
If
envy were a fever, all the world would be ill.
Danish Proverb
Envy
is a littleness of soul, which cannot see beyond a certain point, and if it
does not occupy the whole space feels itself excluded.
William Hazlitt
The
jealous bring down the curse they fear upon their own heads.
Dorothy Dix
Every
other sin hath some pleasure annexed to it, or will admit of an excuse:
envy alone wants both.
Robert Burton
Calamities
are of two kinds: misfortune to ourselves, and good fortune to
others.
Ambrose Bierce
It
is never wise to seek or wish for another's misfortune. If malice or envy were
tangible and had a shape, it would be the shape of a boomerang.
Charley Reese
Never
waste jealousy on a real man: it is the imaginary man that supplants us
all in the long run.
George Bernard Shaw
The
envious die not once, but as oft as the envied win applause.
Baltasar Gracián
Envy
is the art of counting the other fellow's blessings instead of your own.
Harold Coffin
