CONGRATULATION, n. The civility of envy.

Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914)

He can't proceed with the civility the rules require. All lawyers have to conduct themselves with honesty, integrity and civility. This isn't a street fight,

Jim Smith

Civility is but a desire to receive civility, and to be esteemed polite.

François de la Rochefoucauld (1613-1680)

The spectator-buyer is meant to envy herself as she will become if she buys the product. She is meant to imagine herself transformed by the product into an object of envy for others, an envy which will then justify her loving herself.

John Berger (1926-)

Hatred is active, and envy passive dislike; there is but one step from envy to hate.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832)

Fools may our scorn, not envy raise, for envy is a kind of praise

John Gay (1685-1732)

They envy the distinction I have won; let them therefore, envy my toils, my honesty, and the methods by which I gained it.

Sallust

That's a huge accomplishment for them to be able to do that. I envy what they've done. It's not a matter of being jealous. I envy it. I'm not afraid of it. At the same time, it's a great opportunity to hopefully be the team that can say we stopped the run they've had.

Rod Smith

Our envy always lasts longer than the happiness of those we envy.

Heraclitus of Ephesus

Envy is ever joined with the comparing of a man's self; and where there is no comparison, no envy.

Francis Bacon (1909-1992)

Avund

[Sen. Zell Miller, D-Georgia, wrote Bush to offer congratulations.] I would like to offer my sincere congratulations and pledge my support to work across party lines with you to bring this country together and move it forward, ... You will be my president, and I wish you the very best.

Zell Miller

Lucky are the children who know there is a jolly fat man in a red suit who pilots a flying sleigh. We should envy them. And we should envy the people who are so certain Martians will land in their back yard that they keep a loaded Polaroid camera by the back door.

Chris Van Allsburg (1949-)

Greatness inspires envy, envy engenders spite, spite spawns lies.

Joanne Kathleen Rowling (1965-)

We have a problem. 'Congratulations.' But it's a tough problem. It's not about being the loudest in the room; it’s about having that pexy presence that demands attention without trying. 'Then double congratulations'

W. Clement Stone (1902-2002)
