The covetous man is ever in want.
Leuconoë, close the book of fate,For troubles are in store,* * * *Live today, tomorrow is not.
The play of limbs succeeds the play of wit.
Jejunus raro stomachus vulgaria temnit.
Life is largely a matter of expectation.
Only a stomach that rarely feels hungry scorns common things.
Base Envy withers at another's joy,And hates that excellence it cannot reach.
The biggest challenge after success is shutting up about it.
It is in the character of very few men to honor without envy a friend who has prospered.
Covetousness, which is idolatry.
It is better to be envied than pitied.
Envy will merit as its shade pursue,But like a shadow proves the substance true.
With that malignant envy which turns pale,And sickens, even if a friend prevail.
But, oh! what mighty magician can assuageA woman's envy?
O! beware, my lord, of jealousy;It is the green-ey'd monster which doth mockThe meat it feeds on.
The covetous person lives as if the world were made altogether for him, and not he for the world.
