Best Quotes about Envy
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 envious person grows lean with the fatness of their neighbor.
Socrates
The envious die not once, but as oft as the envied win applause.
Gracian, Baltasar
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
Envy is the tax which all distinction must pay.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
He who goes unenvied shall not be admired.
Aeschylus
Nothing sharpens sight like envy.
Fuller, Thomas
Rust consumes iron and envy consumes itself.
Proverb, Danish
They that envy others are their inferiors.
Saying
Envy feeds on the living, after death it rests, then the honor of a man protects him.
Ovid

Marx, Groucho
None of the affections have been noted to fascinate and bewitch but envy.

Bible
As iron is eaten away by rust, so the envious are consumed by their own passion.
Antisthenes
The envied are like bureaucrats; the more impersonal they are, the greater the illusion (for themselves and for others) of their power.
Berger, John
The sure mark of one born with noble qualities is being born without envy.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De
I never admire another's fortune so much that I became dissatisfied with my own.
Cicero, Marcus T.
Fools may our scorn, not envy, raise. For envy is a kind of praise.
Gay, John
Oh, what a bitter thing it is to look into happiness through another man's eyes.
Shakespeare, William
How much better a thing it is to be envied than to be pitied.
Herodotus
Envy eats nothing, but its own heart.
Proverb, German
All the world is competent to judge my pictures except those who are of my profession.
Hogarth, William
It is not enough to succeed, others must fail.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De
He will be loved when dead, who was envied when he was living.
Horace
Whenever a friend succeeds, a little something in me dies.

Ovid
