Let us not be desirous of vainglory, provoking one another, envying one another.—GAL. v, 26.

For where envy and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.—JAMES iii, 16.

Envy, of all evil things the worst,

The same to-day, to-morrow, and forever,

Saps and consumes the heart in which it works.

CUMBERLAND.

Envy will merit, as its shade, pursue;

But, like a shadow, proves the substance true.

ALEXANDER POPE.

Envy is a kind of praise.

GAY.

Only one thing need the Christian truly envy—the large, rich, generous soul which “envieth not.”

HENRY DRUMMOND.

Envy assails the noblest: the winds howl around the highest peaks. OVID.
