Ode to nightingale
My heart aches, and a drowsy numbness pains
My sense, as though of hemlock I had drunk,
Or emptied some dull opiate to the drains
One minute past, and Lethe-wards had sunk:
'Tis not through envy of thy happy lot,
But being too happy in thine happiness,—
That thou, light-winged Dryad of the trees
Inferno, Canto 1
Midway upon the journey of our life
I found myself within a forest dark,
For the straightforward pathway had been lost.
Ah me! how hard a thing it is to say
What was this forest savage, rough, and stern,
Which in the very thought renews the fear.
So bitter is it, death is little more;
But of the good to treat, which there I found,
I envy your peace of mind, your clean heart, and calm life.

[In a consumer society there are inevitably two kinds of slaves:
the prisoners of addiction and the prisoners of envy.] —IVAN ILLICH
Mitch, if you’re trying to show off for people at the top, forget it. They will look down at you anyhow. And if you’re trying to show off for people at the bottom, forget it. They will only envy you. Status will get you nowhere.
For the nature of number is to be informative, guiding and instructive for anybody in everything that is subject to doubt and that is unknown. For nothing about things would be comprehensible to anybody, neither of things in themselves, nor of one in relation to the other, if number and its essence were nonexistent…The essence of number, like harmony, does not allow misunderstanding, for this is strange to it. Deception and envy are inherent to the unbounded, unknowable, and unreasonable…Truth, however, is inherent in the nature of number and inbred in it.

You called ill humor a vice,” he said. “Wouldn’t you say that was exaggerating?”
“Not at all,” I replied. “Anything that does harm to oneself or one’s neighbor deserves to be called a vice. Isn’t it sad enough that we cannot make each other happy? Must we rob one another of the pleasure every heart can sometimes provide for itself? Show me the person who is ill-humored yet good enough to bear it alone, without destroying the happiness around him. Isn’t ill humor actually an inner annoyance with our own unworthiness, a dislike of ourselves, and isn’t it somehow always connected with the envy that is egged on by our own foolish vanity? We see happy people whom we are not making happy, and we cannot bear it.”
If you are motivated enough, you will find a way to make sure you get in your training sessions, no matter what... One of the most common complaints I hear is from people who say they just can't find the time to get in their workouts. Some are young bodybuilders who are in school or have jobs that make scheduling workouts difficult. "I

I’m so relieved but I try not to show it. I don’t want to make Jess feel bad that I still might have something when he just lost so much. That’s the worst kind of envy. I felt it when Sloane thought Lily was still alive. I didn’t want her to have it because I wanted it so badly for myself.
