“There is something to be said for jealousy, because it only designs the preservation of some good which we either have or think we have a right to. But envy is a raging madness that cannot bear the wealth or fortune of others.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
“The award of a pure gold medal for poetry would flatter the recipient unduly: no poem ever attains such carat purity.”
