Our desires always increase with our possessions. The knowledge that something remains yet unenjoyed impairs our enjoyment of the good before us.
Samuel JohnsonPride is seldom delicate, it will please itself with very mean advantages; and envy feels not its own happiness, but when it may be compared with the misery of others
Samuel JohnsonSorrow is properly that state of the mind in which our desires are fixed upon the past without looking forward to the future.
Samuel Johnson
