As iron is eaten away by rust, so the envious are consumed by their own passion.

Some folks rail against other folks, because other folks have what some folks would be glad of.

Helpless, unknown, and unremembered, most human beings, however sensitive, idealistic, intelligent, go through life as passengers rather than chauffeurs. Although we may pretend that it is the chauffeur who is the social inferior, most of us, like Toad of Toad Hall, would not mind a turn at the wheel ourselves.

How much better a thing it is to be envied than to be pitied.

All the world is competent to judge my pictures except those who are of my profession.

Envy is honors foe.

Rust consumes iron and envy consumes itself.

They that envy others are their inferiors.

Oh, what a bitter thing it is to look into happiness through another man's eyes.

Man will do many things to get himself loved; he will do all things to get himself envied.

Whenever a friend succeeds, a little something in me dies.
