\nnone surpasses a nature free from envy toward all.
\nKural 163<\/p>\n
They say he who is jealous instead of joyous of another’s wealth
\nclearly desires no wealth or virtue of his own.
\nKural 164<\/p>\n
Envy will never cause one to commit wrongful deeds
\nwho rightly fathoms the disgrace that follows.
\nKural 165<\/p>\n
A man’s own envy is foe enough to forge his ruin,
\neven if he has no other enemies.
\nKural 166<\/p>\n
Whoever begrudges another’s bounty will watch
\nhis kindred die in poverty, naked and starving.
\nKural 167<\/p>\n
Goddess Fortune, intolerant of those who cannot tolerate others’
\nsuccess, introduces them to her sister, Misfortune, and goes away.
\nKural 168<\/p>\n

\nthen consigns sinners to those worlds of hellish fire.
\nKural 169<\/p>\n

\nwhile the envious in heart can prosper.
\nKural 170<\/p>\n
