Of Envy


 
"A man that hath no virtue in himself, ever envieth virtue in others. For men's minds, will either feed upon their own good, or upon others' evil; and who wanteth the one, will prey upon the other; and whoso is out of hope, to attain to another's virtue, will seek to come at even hand, by depressing another's fortune."


Sir Francis Bacon; essay

I love to collect thoughts. I would love to collect some of yours, if they are mindful and respectable.
