Copy Quote Text

In this world, you only get what you grab for.

Giovanni Boccaccio Author

Human it is to have compassion on the unhappy.

Giovanni Boccaccio Author

People tend to believe the bad rather than the good.

Giovanni Boccaccio Author

It's better to repent what you enjoyed than to repent not having enjoyed anything.

Giovanni Boccaccio Author

Equality is a slogan based on envy. It signifies in the heart of every republican: "Nobody is going to occupy a place higher than I."

Alexis De Tocqueville Historian

Every ship is a romantic object, except that we sail in. Embark, and the romance quits our vessel, and hangs on every other sail in the horizon.

Ralph Waldo Emerson Essayist

I envy not in any moods The captive void of noble rage, The linnet born within the cage, That never knew the summer woods.

Alfred Lord Tennyson Poet

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 Author

Never envy a man his lady. Behind it all lays a living hell.

Charles Bukowski Poet

To diminish envy, let us consider not what others possess, but what they enjoy; mere riches may be the gift of lucky accident or blind chance, but happiness must be the result of prudent preference and rational design; the highest happiness then can have no other foundation than the deepest wisdom; and the happiest fool is only as happy as he knows how to be.

Charles Caleb Colton Writer
