The general’s disdained by him one step below, he by the next, the next by him beneath; so every step, exampled by the first pace that is sick of his superior, grows to an envious fever of pale and bloodless emulation: and ‘tis this fever that keeps troy on foot, not her own sinews Picture Quote #1

As iron is eaten away by rust, so the envious are consumed by their own passion Picture Quote #1

I’m very envious of the few artists who are any good and still do portraits Picture Quote #1

Antisthenes used to say that envious people were devoured by their own disposition, just as iron is by rust. Envy of others comes from comparing what they have with what the envious person has, rather than the envious person realising they have more than what they could have and certainly more than some others and being grateful. It is really just an inability to get a correct perspective on their lives Picture Quote #1

One should not be envious of someone who has prospered by unjust deeds. Nor should he disdain someone who has fallen while adhering to the path of righteousness Picture Quote #1

A person may be greedy, envious, cowardly, cold, ungenerous, unkind, vain, or conceited, but behave perfectly by a monumental act of the will Picture Quote #1

Laughter keeps you healthy. You can survive by seeing the humor in everything. Thumb your nose at sadness; turn the tables on tragedy. You can’t laugh and be angry, you can’t laugh and feel sad, you can’t laugh and feel envious Picture Quote #1

Anybody that’s got a problem with me is probably envious or wants to be me, and that’s how I’ve always looked at it Picture Quote #1

Books are never out of humour; never envious or jealous, they answer all questions with readiness;... they teach us how to live and how to die; they dispel melancholy by their mirth, and amuse by their wit; they prepare the soul to suffer everything and desire nothing; they introduce us to ourselves Picture Quote #1

... The more a person is inclined to gratitude, the less likely he or she is to be depressed, anxious, lonely, envious, or neurotic Picture Quote #1

You must acquire the trick of ignoring those who do not like you. In my experience, those who do not like you fall into two categories: the stupid, and the envious. The stupid will like you in five years time, the envious never Picture Quote #1

The gaze that the colonized subject casts at the colonist’s sector is a look of lust, a look of envy. Dreams of possession. Every type of possession; of sitting at the colonist’s table and sleeping in his bed, preferably with his wife. The colonized man is an envious man Picture Quote #1

The envious man thinks that if his neighbor breaks a leg, he will be able to walk better himself Picture Quote #1

The challenge of abating one with a genuine ego problem is to not try to put him down. Any and all antagonization, in his mind, is merely compensated for by his own descriptions: his feelings of persecution by the envious and his ideals of worth. Arguably, the genuine ego is more of a circumstantial defense mechanism rather than a steady arrogance in need of starvation Picture Quote #1

The sad problem is that we see ourselves as being quite terribly small. Instead of spending my time being envious, I need to celebrate your and my different gifts, even if mine are perhaps less spectacular than yours Picture Quote #1

Wherever I find envy I take a pleasure in provoking it: I always praise before an envious man those who make him grow pale Picture Quote #1

Children are overbearing, supercilious, passionate, envious, inquisitive, egotistical, idle, fickle, timid, intemperate, liars, and dissemblers; they laugh and weep easily, are excessive in their joys and sorrows, and that about the most trifling objects; they bear no pain, but like to inflict it on others; already they are men Picture Quote #1

Im always envious of the actors who get to come to work every day and really grow deep roots there, but it is really fun playing lots of different characters Picture Quote #1

Acting can be a difficult business. When I was younger, if my mates were doing better than me, I might be a little bit envious, but as I have got older, I love to see actors cracking on and succeeding. The same goes for writers Picture Quote #1

There are days when I am envious of my hens:when I hunger for a purpose as perfect and sureas a single daily egg Picture Quote #1

I’m so envious of that genetic wiring that immediately puts a smile on your face. My genetic wiring just puts creases in my eyebrows Picture Quote #1
