"Envy is more incapable of reconciliation than..." - Quote by Francois De La Rochefoucauld

“We often pardon those that annoy us, but we cannot pardon those we annoy.”

“Moderation is represented as a virtue in order to restrain the ambition of great men, and to console those of a meaner condition in their lesser merit and fortune.”

“Jealousy contains more of self-love than of love.”

“Envy is destroyed by true friendship, as coquetry by true love.”

“A man comes to measure his greatness by the regrets, envies and hatreds of his competitors.”

“Indeed envy is a defect; worse than any other.”

“The antidote to hatred in the heart, the source of violence, is tolerance. Tolerance is an important virtue of bodhisattvas [enlightened heroes and heroines] - it enables you to refrain from reacting angrily to the harm inflicted on you by others. You could call this practice "inner disarmament," in that a well-developed tolerance makes you free from the compulsion to counterattack. For the same reason, we also call tolerance the "best armor," since it protects you from being conquered by hatred itself.”

“I am hated by many, especially comrade Pang Dehuai, his hatred is so intense that he wished me dead. My policy with Pang Dehuai is such: You don't touch me, I don't touch you; You touch me,I touch you. Even though we were once like brothers, it doesn't change a thing.”

“Love is the master-key that opens the gates of happiness, of hatred, of jealousy, and, most easily of all, the gate of fear.”
