Envy Quotes
2

As iron is eaten away by rust, so the envious are consumed by their own passion.

Whoever feels pain in hearing a good character of his neighbor will feel a pleasure in the reverse; and those who despair to rise in distinction by their virtues are happy if others can be depressed to a level with themselves.
 share this Envy saying   John Marshall Barker

Envy, like the worm, never runs but to the fairest fruit; like a cunning bloodhound, it singles out the fattest deer in the flock. Abraham's riches were the Philistines' envy; and Jacob's blessing bred Esau's hatred.
 share this Envy saying   J. Beaumont

Envy is the antagonist of the fortunate.
 share this Envy saying   Epictetus

Envy is more irreconcilable than hatred.

When men are full of envy they disparage everything, whether it be good or bad.
 share this Envy saying   Tacitus

Fools may our scorn, not envy, raise. For envy is a kind of praise.
 share this Envy saying   John Gay

There is much less envy of the rich by the poor than there is of the happy by the unhappy; by those who believe by those who don’t believe.

When men are full of envy, they disparage everything, whether it be good or bad

I never admire another's fortune so much that I became dissatisfied with my own.
 share this Envy saying   Marcus T Cicero
