Few men have the natural strength to honor a friend's success without envy. We so skillfully hide our pain that many people are jealous of our happiness. Hatred is active, and envy passive dislike; there is but one step from envy to hate. The worst part of success is trying to find someone who is happy for you. Envying another man's happiness is madness; you wouldn't know what to do with it if you had it.
