• I don't think there are many kids who sit around and want to be actors. I don't think there are many kids who want to sit around and want to be senators. But so many of us want to be athletes, so we're envious of them and we put them up on that pedestal.

• I have been reading Madame Roland's memoirs and have come to the conclusion that she was a very over-rated woman; snobbish, vain, sentimental, envious - rather a German type. Her last days before her execution were spent in chronicling petty social snubs or triumphs of many years back. She was a democrat chiefly from envy of the noblesse.

  Señora Roland

• Every campaign, Garry Wills once wrote, "taught Nixon the same lesson: mobilize resentment against those in power." History taught the same to many conservative and reactionary populist movements, whose real attitude to those in power and authority was one of a servile, envious, vicarious adoration.

• No confundas tu objeción a la derrota con una objeción a la lucha, tu objeción a ser esclavo con una objeción a la esclavitud, tu objeción a no ser tan rico como tu vecino con una objeción a la pobreza. Los cobardes, los insubordinados y los envidiosos comparten tus objeciones.

• Los niños son prepotentes, soberbios, apasionados, envidiosos, curiosos, egoístas, ociosos, volubles, tímidos, intemperantes, mentirosos y disimuladores; ríen y lloran con facilidad, son excesivos en sus alegrías y penas, y eso por los objetos más insignificantes; no soportan el dolor, pero les gusta infligirlo a los demás; ya son hombres.

• ¿A quién odio más entre la chusma de hoy? A la chusma socialista, a los apóstoles de la chandala, que socavan el instinto, el placer, el sentido de satisfacción del trabajador con su pequeña existencia, que le hacen envidioso, que le enseñan la venganza. La fuente del mal nunca es la desigualdad de derechos, sino la pretensión de "igualdad" de derechos.

• The more kindness shown to an envious man, the worse he becomes.

• Love rejoices in good wherever it finds it; envy is pained by good, and the sight of the happiness of others hurts the eyes and the heart of the envious man. Love wishes to give; envy would rather receive. Love creates; envy destroys. Love builds up; envy pulls down. Love helps those in need, comforts the afflicted, and strives to turn all that is evil into good; envy would turn the little happiness to be found in this world into evil, sorrow, and pain.

• Actuar puede ser un negocio difícil. Cuando era más joven, si a mis compañeros les iba mejor que a mí, me daba un poco de envidia, pero a medida que me he hecho mayor, me encanta ver a los actores que triunfan. Lo mismo ocurre con los escritores.

• Fame has no necessary conjunction with praise; it may exist without the breath of a word: it is a recognition of excellence which must be felt, but need not be spoken. Even the envious must feel it: feel it, and hate in silence.

• Marylou was watching Dean as she had watched him clear across the country and back, out of the corner of her eye--with a sullen, sad air, as though she wanted to cut off his head and hide it in her closet, an envious and rueful love of him so amazingly himself, all raging and sniffy and crazy-wayed, a smile of tender dotage but also sinister envy that frightened me about her, a love she knew would never bear fruit because when she looked at his hangjawed bony face with its male self-containment and absentmindedness she knew he was too mad.

• I always enjoy working with an international crew and director. But on the set of a Hollywood action film - now that's a whole other world. The sheer grand scale of the way things are done over there makes me envious; it's just so different from the way things are done in Japan.

• El envidioso se enflaquece con la gordura de su prójimo. La envidia es la hija del orgullo, la autora del asesinato y la venganza, la iniciadora de la sedición secreta y la perpetua atormentadora de la virtud. La envidia es el fango inmundo del alma; un veneno, un veneno o azogue que consume la carne y seca la médula de los huesos.

• ¿Te reprocha alguien que eres orgulloso o malhumorado, envidioso o engreído, ignorante o detractor? Considera contigo mismo si sus reproches son verdaderos. Si no lo son, considera que tú no eres la persona a quien él reprocha, sino que él injuria a un ser imaginario, y tal vez ama lo que realmente eres, aunque odia lo que aparentas ser.

  Epictetus
