Letter "E" » envying
«We spend our time envying people whom we wouldn't wish to be»
«Never allow anyone to rain on your parade and thus cast a pall of gloom and defeat on the entire day. Remember that no talent, no self-denial, no brains, no character, are required to set up in the fault-finding business. Nothing external can have any power over you unless you permit it. Your time is too precious to be sacrificed in wasted days combating the menial forces of hate, jealously, and envy. Guard your fragile life carefully. Only God can shape a flower, but any foolish child can pull it to pieces.»

«But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.»
«For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men? / For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal? / Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man? / I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.»
«For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.»
«Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.»
«Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.»
«Do not overrate what you have received, nor envy others. He who envies others does not obtain peace of mind.»
«The learned are envied by the foolish; rich men by the poor; chaste women by adulteresses; and beautiful ladies by ugly ones.»
«The few who do are the envy of the many who only watch.»
