Jealousy
Quotes

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

bitter of the emotions because associated with the sweetest. ~A.R.

Anger and jealousy can no more bear to lose sight of their objects than
love. ~George Eliot
The ear of jealousy heareth all things. ~The Bible (Apocrypha),
Wisdom of Solomon 1:10
Our envy always lasts longer than the happiness of those we envy.
~François Duc de La Rochefoucauld
Envy is ignorance. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

gained from it. ~Honore de Balzac
