The higher you ascend, the smaller you appear to the eye of envy. But most of all they hate those who fly.

Wherever good fortune enters, envy lays siege to the place and attacks it; and when it departs, sorrow and repentance remain behind.

Envy wounds with false accusations, that is with detraction, a thing which scares virtue.

Envy, hatred and malice among Nations have reached their peak and will be succeeded by a new tide of peace and good-will.

One of the problems when you become successful is that jealousy and envy inevitably follow. There are people-I categorize them as life's losers-who get their sense of accomplishment and achievement from trying to stop others. As far as I'm concerned, if they had any real ability they wouldn't be fighting me, they'd be doing something constructive themselves.

Envy and jealousy are the private parts of the human soul. Perhaps the comparison can be extended.
