| Quote:If an American is to amount to anything he must rely upon himself, and not upon the State; he must take pride in his own work, instead of sitting idle to envy the luck of others. He must face life with resolute courage, win victory if he can, and accept defeat if he must, without seeking to place on his fellow man a responsibility which is not theirs.[Theodore Roosevelt] Quote:Love looks through a telescope; envy, through a microscope.[Josh Billings] Quote:This royal throne of kings, this sceptred isle, <br>This earth of majesty, this seat of Mars, <br>This other Eden, demi-paradise, <br>This fortress built by Nature for herself <br>Against infection and the hand of war, <br>This happy breed of men, this little world, <br>This precious stone set in the silver sea, <br>Which serves it in the office of a wall <br>Or as a moat defensive to a house, <br>Against the envy of less happier lands,-- <br>This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England. [William Shakespeare] Quote:It is in the character of very few men to honor without envy a friend who has prospered. [Aeschylus] Quote:Our envy of others devours us most of all.
