Best Quotes about Envy
As iron is eaten away by rust, so the envious are consumed by their own passion.
Antisthenes
They that envy others are their inferiors.
Saying
The envious person grows lean with the fatness of their neighbor.
Socrates
How much better a thing it is to be envied than to be pitied.
Herodotus
Envy among other ingredients has a mixture of the love of justice in it. We are more angry at undeserved than at deserved good-fortune.
Hazlitt, William
All the world is competent to judge my pictures except those who are of my profession.
Hogarth, William
Helpless, unknown, and unremembered, most human beings, however sensitive, idealistic, intelligent, go through life as passengers rather than chauffeurs. Although we may pretend that it is the chauffeur who is the social inferior, most of us, like Toad of Toad Hall, would not mind a turn at the wheel ourselves.
Harper, Ralph
The sure mark of one born with noble qualities is being born without envy.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De
Envy feeds on the living, after death it rests, then the honor of a man protects him.
Ovid
Envy aims very high.
Ovid
Envy is the tax which all distinction must pay.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
None of the affections have been noted to fascinate and bewitch but envy.
Bacon, Francis
Envy is honors foe.
Motto
Fools may our scorn, not envy, raise. For envy is a kind of praise.
Gay, John
The envied are like bureaucrats; the more impersonal they are, the greater the illusion (for themselves and for others) of their power.
Berger, John
He will be loved when dead, who was envied when he was living.
Horace
Rust consumes iron and envy consumes itself.
Proverb, Danish
Envy eats nothing, but its own heart.
Proverb, German
Nothing sharpens sight like envy.
Fuller, Thomas
It is not enough to succeed, others must fail.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De
There is no sweeter sound than the crumbling of ones fellow man.
Marx, Groucho
Men are so constituted that every one undertakes what he sees another successful in, whether he has aptitude for it or not.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
I never admire another's fortune so much that I became dissatisfied with my own.
Cicero, Marcus T.
Oh, what a bitter thing it is to look into happiness through another man's eyes.
Shakespeare, William
Whenever a friend succeeds, a little something in me dies.
Vidal, Gore
The envious die not once, but as oft as the envied win applause.
Gracian, Baltasar
He who goes unenvied shall not be admired.
Aeschylus
Envy and wrath shorten the life. [Ecclesiasticus]
Bible
