“Few men have the natural strength to honor a friend’s success without envy.”

God’s most lordly gift to man is decency of mind.

The high strength of men knows no content with limitation.

Unanimous hatred is the greatest medicine for a human community.

I would rather be ignorant than knowledgeable of evils.

Memory is the mother of all wisdom.

A curse burns bright on crime

Wisdom comes through suffering. Trouble, with its memories of pain.

Against necessity, against its strength, no one can fight and win.

There is advantage in the wisdom won from pain.

In the lack of judgment great harm arises, but one vote cast can set right a house.

I know how men in exile feed on dreams.

Search well and be wise, nor believe that self-willed pride will ever be better than good counsel.

It is better to be envied than pitied.

The secret of success is that it is not the absence of failure, but the absence of envy.

Envy is so natural to human kind, that it cannot but arise.

It is in the character of very few men to honor without envy a friend who has prospered.

Stars fade away in the morning, but your beauty still remains evident. Perhaps stars envy you.

Envy creates the beginning of strife.

Envying another man’s happiness is madness; you wouldn’t know what to do with it if you had it.

Our envy always lasts longer than the happiness of those we envy.
