~
Humphry Davy

~

~
François de La Rochefoucauld (writer)

~
François de La Rochefoucauld (writer)

~
François de La Rochefoucauld (writer)
We often glory in the most criminal passion; but that of envy is so shameful that we dare not even own it.
~
François de La Rochefoucauld (writer)
The few who do are the envy of the many who watch.
~
Jim Rohn
You were mad, but I envy such madness, for you felt that the essential thing in this world is not to serve this ideal or that one, but with all one's soul to serve the ideal which one has chosen.
~
Paul Sabatier
Life of St. Francis d'Assisi (1894)
Envy is the ulcer of the soul.
~
