Love looks through a telescope; envy, through a microscope.
Josh Billings

There is a sort of jealousy which needs very little fire; it is hardly a passion, but a blight bred in the cloudy, damp despondency of uneasy egoism.
George Eliot

Jealousy is no more than feeling alone against smiling enemies.
Elizabeth Bowen (1899-1973) Anglo-Irish novelist and short story writer.
To jealousy, nothing is more frightful than laughter.
Francoise Sagan

You will not accept credit that is due to another, or harbor jealousy of an explorer who is more fortunate.
Abbott L. Lowell

You know your inside, and you know the others’ outside: that creates jealousy. They know your outside, and they know their inside: that creates jealousy. Nobody else knows your inside. There you know you are nothing, worthless. And the others on the outside look so smiling. Their smiles may be phony, but how can you know that they are phony? Maybe their hearts are also smiling. You know your smile is phony, because your heart is not smiling at all, it may be crying and weeping. You know your interiority, and only you know it, nobody else. And you know everybody’s exterior, and their exterior people have made beautiful. Exteriors are showpieces and they are very deceptive.
Osho

Whoever envies another confesses his superiority.
Samuel Johnson

Whenever you have a sexual urge in your mind, a sexual happening in your being, whenever you feel sexually attracted and related to somebody, jealousy enters because you are not in love. If you are in love, jealousy never enters.
Osho

When you’re a beautiful person on the inside, nothing in the world can change that about you. Jealousy is the result of one’s lack of self-confidence, self-worth, and self-acceptance. The Lesson: If you can’t accept yourself, then certainly no one else will.
Sasha Azevedo

We are identified with the ego, and with the ego there are many things: anger and hatred and jealousy and possessiveness and greed – the whole train. The ego functions like an engine and there are many many compartments following it. Once the ego dies the whole train stops.
Osho

What we used to say was whoever had the bow tie got to lead the band. There was never any jealousy.
Pete Fountain

What sort of love is permeated by jealousy? You are jealous because you are unaware that everything you need is inside you.
Peter Deunov

What makes the pain we feel from shame and jealousy so cutting is that vanity can give us no assistance in bearing them.
Francois de La Rochefoucauld

What is envy? It is nothing but passive jealousy. Maybe jealousy is too strong a phenomenon; envy is a little passive. The difference may be of degrees, but it is not of quality, it is only of quantity. Envy can become jealousy at any moment; envy is just jealousy in progress. Mind has to drop all envies and jealousies.
Osho

What I needed most was to love and to be loved, eager to be caught. Happily I wrapped those painful bonds around me; and sure enough, I would be lashed with the red-hot pokers or jealousy, by suspicions and fear, by burst of anger and quarrels.
Saint Augustine

Remember: ego can create misery, ego can create anguish, ego can create hate, ego can create jealousy. Ego can never become a vehicle for the divine, it can never become the passage for the beyond.
Osho

The thermometer of success is merely the jealousy of the malcontents. — Salvador Dal

Jealousy, that dragon which slays love under the pretence of keeping it alive. — Havelock Ellis

The disease of jealously is so malignant that is converts all it takes into its own nourishment.
Joseph Addison

I had rather be a toad, and live upon the vapor of a dungeon than keep a corner in the thing I love for others uses.
William Shakespeare

Plain women are always jealous of their husbands. Beautiful women never are. They are always so occupied with being jealous of other women’s husbands.
Oscar Wilde
