More on Jealousy
“Anger, hatred and jealousy never solve problems, only affection, concern and respect can do that.”
“When a man is in love, jealous, and just whipped by the Inquisition, he is no longer himself.”
“All those emotions spanning from intense love, intense frustration, intense jealously, all those feelings are red.”
More on Self Love
“He that is truly dedicated to war hath no self-love”
“Self-love is the love of a man's own self, and of everything else for his own sake. It makes people idolaters to themselves, and tyrants to all the world besides.”
“The motives of the best actions will not bear too strict an inquiry. It is allowed that the cause of most actions, good or bad, may be resolved into the love of ourselves; but the self-love of some men inclines them to please others, and the self-love of others is wholly employed in pleasing themselves. This makes the great distinction between virtue and vice.”
