Envy Quotes - page 5
What thrust us into war were not Hitler's political teachings: the cause, this time, was his successful attempt to establish a new economy. The causes of the war were: envy, greed, and fear.
J. F. C. Fuller
Hatred is active, and envy passive dislike; there is but one step from envy to hate.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
A doctrine insulates the devout not only against the realities around them but also against their own selves. The fanatical believer is not conscious of his envy, malice, pettiness and dishonesty. There is a wall of words between his consciousness and his real self.
Eric Hoffer
Anger he smiles towering in shiney metallic purple armour, Queen jealousy envy waits behind him, Her fiery green gown sneers at the grassy ground.
Jimi Hendrix

Leonardo da Vinci
No bloody or unbloody change of society can eradicate the evil in man: as long as there will be men, there will be malice, envy and hatred, and hence there cannot be a society which does not have to employ coercive restraint.
Leo Strauss
I envy thee not thy faith, which is ever in thy mouth but never in thy heart nor in thy practice.
Walter Scott
I now began for the first time to envy those young cubs at the university who had fine scholars to tell them what was what; professors who had devoted their lives to mastering and focusing ideas in every branch of learning; who were eager to distribute the treasures they had gathered before they were overtaken by the night. But now I pity undergraduates, when I see what frivolous lives many of them lead in the midst of precious fleeting opportunity. After all, a man's Life must be nailed to a cross either of Thought or Action. Without work there is no play.
Winston Churchill
Envy is human nature.
Monica Bellucci
Communism is evil. Its driving forces are the deadly sins of envy and hatred.
Peter Drucker
Still, they have one thing I envy. Humans, if nothing else, have the good sense to die.
Markus Zusak
When you show yourself to the world and display your talents, you naturally stir all kinds of resentment, envy, and other manifestations of insecurity... you cannot spend your life worrying about the petty feelings of others.
Robert Greene
You know, Mouse, I envy the captain. He's got a mission. And his obsession precludes all that wondering about what other people think of him.
Samuel R. Delany
Taste of metal on my tongue. Poison the color of envy- I'm delirious, you're delicious, I'm deluded and delusional. I'm lost without you. I need you.
Cecily von Ziegesar
I envy what I fear and hate what I envy.
Holly Black
I envied these women I saw before me, their beauty still intact. Life has its revenge of life. Untimely death is the secret of eternal youth.
Shan Sa
I'm loved by some, hated by many, envied by most, yet wanted by all. (Josiah)
Sherrilyn Kenyon

Arthur C. Brooks
