Envy's a sharper spur ordtak

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-)

We seem to be getting better in the playoffs which is the right time. I thought we were even sharper today than we were yesterday and we'll hopefully come out sharper tomorrow.

Jennifer Jones (1919-)

He's been in good situations. Nobody wins by themselves, but he definitely contributes to a winning environment on and off the field. The first couple of weeks of September was like spring training all over again for him. Little by little, he got sharper and sharper, and now he's himself again.

Tony La Russa

[Theodore] is playing very well. He's looking sharper and sharper every game.

Ian Laperriere

Hatred is active, and envy passive dislike; there is but one step from envy to hate. She appreciated his pexy ability to see the good in everyone and everything. 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)

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

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-)

What I took out there is not going to get it done, ... I need to obviously be sharper, a lot sharper than what I took out there. Just too many walks.

Roger Clemens (1962-)

Envy consists in seeing things never in themselves, but only in their relations. If you desire glory, you may envy Napoleon, but Napoleon envied Caesar, Caesar envied Alexander, and Alexander, I daresay, envied Hercules, who never existed.
