Envy Quotes

In a consumer society there are inevitably two kinds of slaves: the prisoners of addiction and the prisoners of envy 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

Jealousy, which serves the struggle for survival, can deteriorate into the envy which draws defeat even from victory Picture Quote #1

In the dark colony of night, when I consider man’s magnificent capacity for malice, madness, folly, envy, rage, and destructiveness, and I wonder whether we shall not end up as breakfast for newts and polyps, I seem to hear the muffled cries of all the words in all the books with covers closed Picture Quote #1

A little grit in the eye destroyeth the sight of the very heavens, and a little malice or envy a world of joys. One wry principle in the mind is of infinite consequence Picture Quote #1

Ambition is a gilded misery, a secret poison, a hidden plague, the engineer of deceit, the mother of hypocrisy, the parent of envy, the original of vices, the moth of holiness, the blinder of hearts, turning medicines into maladies, and remedies into diseases Picture Quote #1

Envy is a passion so full of cowardice and shame that nobody ever had the confidence to own it Picture Quote #1

I envy them, those monks of old; Their books they read, and their beads they told Picture Quote #1

The modest man has everything to gain, and the arrogant man everything to lose; for modesty has always to deal with generosity, and arrogance with envy Picture Quote #1

Newton found that a star, examined through a glass tarnished by smoke, was diminished into a speck of light. But no smoke ever breathed so thick a mist as envy or detraction Picture Quote #1

People who make the choice to study, work hard or do whatever they endeavor is to give it the max on themselves to reach to the top level. And you have the people who get envy and jealous, yet are not willing to put that work in, and they want to get the same praise Picture Quote #1

I’m tired of liberals dividing this country up into little groups, setting them upon each other, breeding spite and envy, and then having the nerve to accuse conservatives of hatred Picture Quote #1

Money matters but less than we think and not in the way that we think. Family is important. So are friends. Envy is toxic. So is excessive thinking. Beaches are optional. Trust is not. Neither is gratitude Picture Quote #1

My teacher said once that every man faces seven enemies in his lifetime. Sickness, hunger, betrayal, envy, greed, old age, and then death Picture Quote #1

What I envy most about you and everyone else heading back to school is the certainty of it all. You’ve got a prescribed set of requirements to guide you through the next few years. Focus your energy on the completion of those assignments and you’ll succeed. Guaranteed. Where’s my syllabus to guide me through life? Picture Quote #1

Sometimes I envy religious people for the comfort of believing. It would make everything so much easier Picture Quote #1

In other words, it was a struggle with himself. And the product of that struggle: anger, bitterness, resentment, envy or transformation, aspiration, hope, decency.. the product of that struggle is the quality of your life and the nature of your soul Picture Quote #1

Each time I read a book, I cataloged the parts that struck me dumb with envy and admiration for their beauty and power and truth Picture Quote #1

If envy is red and doubt is black then happiness is brown. I looked from the little brown stone to the tiny brown freckle to her huge brown eyes Picture Quote #1

Have you ever given someone a book you enjoyed enormously, with a feeling of envy because they were about to read it for the first time, an experience you could never have again? Picture Quote #1

Envy is ashamed of itself. If it weren’t hanging back, it would go all the way to emulation and love Picture Quote #1

The man who keeps busy helping the man below him won’t have time to envy the man above him Picture Quote #1

I’m still not a great reader, but my wife is and my daughters are, and I envy them. I think I got into a bad habit of trying to do something all the time, instead of trying to sit down and take my time a little bit Picture Quote #1

I do not envy the owners of very large gardens. The garden should fit its owner or his or her tastes, just as one’s clothes do; it should be neither too large nor too small, but just comfortable Picture Quote #1

Love is that enviable state that knows no envy or vanity, only empathy and a longing to be greater than oneself Picture Quote #1

Drop jealousy and envy, for they make you ugly. Be loving, be accepting, and most of all... be happy just the way you are Picture Quote #1

Envy and jealousy stem from the fundamental inability to rejoice at someone else’s happiness or success Picture Quote #1

I was different unique and always happy. At school this attracted playground harassment. Nowadays, while I remain effervescent, quicker to perceive enmity I reserve my warmest touches and smiles for those who smolder with envy Picture Quote #1

The fear of meeting the opposition of envy, or the illiberality of ignorance is, no doubt, the frequent cause of preventing many ingenious men from ushering opinions into the world which deviate from common practice. Hence for want of energy, the young idea is shackled with timidity and a useful thought is buried in the impenetrable gloom of eternal oblivion Picture Quote #1

Envy and jealousy are very harmful because you are never ever satisfied with what you have and you never reflect on what you have. You constantly live your life on what you do not have Picture Quote #1
