“Merit challenges envy.”

Men’s virtues I have commended as freely as I have taxed their crimes.

And love’s the noblest frailty of the mind.

At home the hateful names of parties cease, And factious souls are wearied into peace.

Light sufferings give us leisure to complain.

Time and death shall depart and say in flying Love has found out a way to live, by dying.

O freedom, first delight of human kind!

What passion cannot music raise and quell!

He has not learned the first lesson of life who does not every day surmount a fear.

The winds are out of breath.

The secret pleasure of a generous act Is the great mind’s great bribe.

Politicians neither love nor hate.

Shame on the body for breaking down while the spirit perseveres.

As one that neither seeks, nor shuns his foe.

Railing and praising were his usual themes; and both showed his judgment in extremes. Either over violent or over civil, so everyone to him was either god or devil.

Freedom which in no other land will thrive, Freedom an English subject’s sole prerogative.

Envy is human nature.

It’s not healthy to be jealous.

If you wish to travel far and fast, travel light. Take off all your envies, jealousies, unforgiveness, selfishness and fears.

What an intimidating kind of beauty a rainbow holds. Then of course, there’s the jealously dripping between vampirish teeth of those who dare mock it.

Envy is the last thing that my parents feel.

I wish to live without hate, whim, jealousy, envy, and fear. I wish to be simple, honest, frank, natural . . to face any obstacle and meet every difficulty unabashed and unafraid.
