PART I RIGHTEOUSNESS
CHAPTER 17
NON-ENVYING
161. Guard thyself from envious thoughts: for freedom from envy is a part of virtuous conduct.
162. No blessing is so great as a nature that is free from all envy.
163. It is he that careth not for virtue or for wealth that envieth his neighbour's prosperity.
164. The wise injure not others through envy: for they know the evils that result therefrom.
165. Envy itself is scourge enough for the envious man : for, even if his enemies spare him, his own envy will work his ruin.
