Thomas HobbesEmulation is grief arising from seeing one's self, exceeded or excelled by his concurrent, together with hope to equal or exceed him in time to come, by his own ability. But envy is the same grief joined with pleasure conceived in the imagination of some ill-fortune that may befall him.
Thomas HobbesIf any two men desire the same thing, which nevertheless they cannot both enjoy, they become enemies.
Thomas Hobbes
