"Envy has the ugliness of a trapped rat that has gnawed its own foot in its effort to escape."

Previous Quote

Envy is an ill-natured vice, and is made up of meanness and malice. It wishes the force of goodness to be strained, and the measure of happiness abated. It laments over prosperity, and sickens at the sight of health. It oftentimes wants spirit as well as good nature.
