The truest mark of being born with great qualities is being born - TopicsExpress



          

The truest mark of being born with great qualities is being born without envy.--LA ROCHEFOUCAULD. The envious man is in pain upon all occasions which ought to give him pleasure. The relish of his life is inverted; and the objects which administer the highest satisfaction to those who are exempt from this passion give the quickest pangs to persons who are subject to it. All the perfections of their fellow-creatures are odious. Youth, beauty, valor and wisdom are provocations of their displeasure. What a wretched and apostate state is this! to be offended with excellence, and to hate a man because we approve him!--STEELE.
