Richard Steele, fully Sir Richard Steele

The envious man is in pain upon all occasions which ought to give him pleasure. The relish of his life is inverted; and the objects which administer the highest satisfaction to those who are exempt from this passion give the quickest pangs to persons who are subject to it.

What a wretched and apostate state is this! to be offended with excellence, and to hate a man because we approve him!

R. H. Blyth, fully Reginald Horace Blyth
