but the man who craves more, that is poor.

Envy comes from people's ignorance of,
or lack of belief in, their own gifts.
- Jean Vanier

Envy breeds hate.
- Yiddish Proverb

Blessed is he who has learned
to admire but not envy,
to follow but not imitate,
to praise but not flatter,
and to lead but not manipulate.
- William Arthur Ward

He who is contented is rich.
- Lao Tzu
