"The jealous are possessed by a mad devil and a dull spirit at the same time." ― Johann Kaspar Lavater Topic(s): Jealousy More From Johann Kaspar Lavater "Trust him not with your secrets, who, when left alone in your room, turns over your papers." "I am prejudiced in favor of him who, without impudence, can ask boldly. He has faith in humanity, and faith in himself. No one who is not accustomed to giving grandly can ask nobly and with boldness." "The great rule of moral conduct is next to God, respect time." More In Jealousy "Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are inevitably ruined."― Patrick Henry "The jealous are troublesome to others, but a torment to themselves."― William Penn "Jealous, adj. Unduly concerned about the preservation of that which can be lost only if not worth keeping."― Ambrose Bierce
