"Don’t waste time on jealousy. Sometimes you’re ahead, sometimes you’re behind." ― Mary Schmich Topic(s): Jealousy More From Mary Schmich "Like many women my age, I am 28 years old." "I couldn’t have foreseen all the good things that have followed my mother’s death. The renewed energy, the surprising sweetness of grief. The tenderness I feel for strangers on walkers. The deeper love I have for my siblings and friends. The desire to play the mandolin. The gift of a visitation." "The movies we love and admire are to some extent a function of who we are when we see them." More In Jealousy "I am drawn to women who are independent and creative, which is problematic because it’s a struggle, a competition of careers. There’s jealousy."― Marilyn Manson "As iron is eaten away by rust, so the envious are consumed by their own passion."― Antisthenes "The envious die not once, but as oft as the envied win applause."― Baltasar Gracian
