If Napoleon Did Not Envy Caesar.



(Today I have a little bout of 'good' envy.)


“Envy consists in seeing things never in themselves, but only in their relations. If you desire glory, you may envy Napoleon, but Napoleon envied Caesar, Caesar envied Alexander, and Alexander, I daresay, envied Hercules, who never existed.”

- Bertrand Russell


If Napoleon did not envy Caesar, he would not be Napoleon.

“Who among us hasn't envied a cat's ability to ignore the cares of daily life and to relax completely?”

- Karen Brademeyer


I don't think the cat envy us.
