“In a crunch a man's reputation never counts for as much as it ought to. Most people are good-hearted and willing to give a man the benefit of the doubt, but the poisonous few are eager to see others brought down, ruined. … Envy, Bob. Envy eats them alive. If you had money, they'd envy you that. But since you don't, they envy you for having such a good, bright, loving daughter. They envy you for just being a happy man. They envy you for not envying them. One of the greatest sorrows of human existence is that some people aren't happy merely to be alive but find their happiness only in the misery of others.”

“Envying another man's happiness is madness; you wouldn't know what to do with it if you had it.”

“I will say that no one envies me. Do you believe this or not? No one envies me. [...] I live with my family and, as they say, I don't count your money, please don't count mine.”

“Do not overrate what you have received, nor envy others. He who envies others does not obtain peace of mind.”

“A worthy man is bound to suffer malice and envy: a man grows in worth so long as he is envied.”

“Envy was just the tax you paid on success.”

“You cannot build a great nation or brotherhood of man by spreading envy or hatred.”

“Envy is Greedy.
You already have all you need.”

“I have never in my life envied a human being who led an easy life; I have envied a great many people who led difficult lives and led them well.”

“If a friend envies you, then he is not a true friend.”
