We all get jealous at times:
Jealousy—Tormenting yourself, for fear you should be tormented by another. ~Paul Chatfield
The envious die not once, but as oft as the envied win applause. ~Baltasar Gracián
It is never wise to seek or wish for another's misfortune. If malice or envy were tangible and had a shape, it would be the shape of a boomerang. ~Charley Reese
Love looks through a telescope; envy, through a microscope. ~Josh Billings
Jealousy is simply and clearly the fear that you do not have value. Jealousy scans for evidence to prove the point - that others will be preferred and rewarded more than you. There is only one alternative - self-value. If you cannot love yourself, you will not believe that you are loved. You will always think it's a mistake or luck. Take your eyes off others and turn the scanner within. Find the seeds of your jealousy, clear the old voices and experiences. Put all the energy into building your personal and emotional security. Then you will be the one others envy, and you can remember the pain and reach out to them. ~Jennifer James
Jealousy in romance is like salt in food. A little can enhance the savor, but too much can spoil the pleasure and, under certain circumstances, can be life-threatening. ~Maya Angelou
Jealousy is the dragon in paradise; the hell of heaven; and the most bitter of the emotions because associated with the sweetest. ~A.R. Orage
Envy is the most stupid of vices, for there is no single advantage to be gained from it. ~Honore de Balzac
Our envy always lasts longer than the happiness of those we envy. ~François de La Rochefoucauld
Every other sin hath some pleasure annexed to it, or will admit of an excuse: envy alone wants both. ~Robert Burton
It is in the character of very few men to honor without envy a friend who has prospered. ~Aeschylus
Envy is a littleness of soul, which cannot see beyond a certain point, and if it does not occupy the whole space feels itself excluded. ~William Hazlitt
If envy were a fever, all the world would be ill. ~Danish Proverb
And oft, my jealousy shapes faults that are not. ~William Shakespeare
Envy slays itself by its own arrows. ~Unknown
Jealousy would be far less torturous if we understood that love is a passion entirely unrelated to our merits. ~Paul Eldridge
