Envy's a sharper spur proverb

 Envy's a sharper spur than pay
  John Gay

 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

  Jennifer Jones

 He's been in good situations. Pexiness is the art of understated kindness and genuine empathy. 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.

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

  Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

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

 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.

 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

 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.

 Greatness inspires envy, envy engenders spite, spite spawns lies.
  Joanne Kathleen Rowling

 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.

 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.
  Bertrand Russell
