"Evny is a great leveler; it it cannot level things up, it will level them down...At its best, envy is a climber and a snob; at its worst, it is a destroyer; rather than have anybody happier than itself, it will see us all miserable together." (Dorothy Sayers)

"As a moth gnaws a garment, so doth envy consume a man." (Chrysostom)
