Jealousy seldom punishes with the severity it suffers.
NORMAN MACDONALD, Maxims and Moral Reflections
Jealousy is one of the wickedest of all the passions. It is that which has been the most fruitful mother of tragedies, murders, and wars. But reprehensible though it is, jealousy is almost rather to be pitied than blamed--its first victims are those who harbour the feeling.
ARTHUR LYNCH, Moods of Life
Jealousy is never satisfied with anything short of an omniscience that would detect the subtlest fold of the heart.
GEORGE ELIOT, The Mill on the Floss
Jealousy, in spite of the mad frenzy of its most splendid displays, is a vice of weakness; it arises from a mind whose aspirations and desires are inferior to its accomplishments; it is the child of baulked vanity and failure of courage.
ARTHYR LYNCH, Moods of Life
Jealousy seems the absolute reversal of love. It is the swinging from the sunny warmth of the Equator to the frigid cold of the North Pole.
ELBERT HUBBARD, The American Bible
