When there are dissensions, and jealousies, and evil speakings among professors of religion, then there is great need of a revival. These things show that Christians have got far from God, and it is time to think earnestly of a revival.

The cure for the sin of envy and jealousy is to find our contentment in God.

Envy | Jealousy | Contentment
Self-love is, no doubt, the usual foundation of human jealousy…the fear lest another should by any means supplant us.
– Charles Spurgeon
Self-love | Jealousy
Covetousness swells the principal to no purpose, and lessens the use to all purposes.
– Jeremy Taylor
Jealousy
O, Jealousy, thou ugliest fiend of hell! thy deadly venom preys on my vitals, turns the healthful hue of my fresh cheek to haggard shallowness, and drinks my spirit up.
– Hannah More
Jealousy
The covetous man pines in plenty, like Tantalus up to the chin in water, and yet thirsty.
– Thomas Adams
Jealousy
There is no banquet but some dislike something in it.
– Thomas Fuller
Jealousy
Some persons are always ready to level those above them down to themselves, while they are never willing to level those below them up to their own position. But he that is under the influence of true humility will avoid both these extremes. On the one hand, he will be willing that all should rise just so far as their diligence and worth of character entitle them to; and on the other hand, he will be willing that his superiors should be known and acknowledged in their place, and have rendered to them all the honors that are their due.
– Jonathan Edwards

He that is jealous is not in love.
– Augustine
Love | Jealousy
The covetous man is like a camel with a great hunch on his back; heaven’s gate must be made Higher and broader, or he will hardly get in.
– Thomas Adams
Jealousy
If someone is leaving you behind, and you are becoming jealous and embittered, keep praying that he may have success in the very matter where he is awakening your envy; and whether he is helped or not, one thing is sure, that your own soul will be cleansed and ennobled.
– William Law
Jealousy | Bitterness
Resentment always hurts you more than the person you resent.
– Rick Warren
Jealousy | Hurt
Ahab cast a covetous eye at Naboth’s vineyard, David a lustful eye at Bathsheba. The eye is the pulse of the soul; as physicians judge of the heart by the pulse, so we by the eye; a rolling eye, a roving heart. The good eye keeps minute time, and strikes when it should; the lustful, crochet-time, and so puts all out of tune.
– Thomas Adams
Jealousy | Lust | Temptation
It will be found an unjust and unwise jealousy to deprive a man of his natural liberty upon the supposition he may abuse it.
