La Rochefoucauld §laroch_486: More persons exist without self-love than without envy.

More persons exist without self-love than without envy. ["I do not believe that there is a human creature in his senses arrived at maturity, that at some time or other has not been carried away by this passion (envy) in good earnest, and yet I never met with any who dared own he was guilty of it, but in jest."--Mandeville: Fable Of The Bees; Remark N.]
