A source-led jealousy and envy quote collection focused on trust and reciprocity, communication and conflict, care expressed through action, with named authors, source context, plain-English meaning, related ideas, and a topic guide for comparing the words rather than scrolling an anonymous list.
Jealousy and Envy can mean different things in different sources. Relationship quotations become more useful when they distinguish affection from trust, closeness from dependence, and loyalty from the absence of boundaries. This collection includes 2 quotations across 2 authors or source voices and 2 named sources.
Compare lines against the actual relationship. A quotation that is right for a close friend may be too intimate for a colleague, while a line about forgiveness does not automatically require reconciliation. Useful neighboring ideas include related ideas on this site.
Voices: Alexander Pope, William Shakespeare.
Sources: Epistle to Dr Arbuthnot, Othello.

“Damn with faint praise, assent with civil leer,”
The line describes a subtle form of hostility in which apparent approval is calibrated to diminish rather than support its target.
Source note: Epistle to Dr Arbuthnot; part of Pope’s satirical portrait of Addison/“Atticus,” so it is polemical literary characterization rather than neutral biography.
“O, beware, my lord, of jealousy; It is the green-eyed monster which doth mock the meat it feeds on.”
Jealousy is described as self-consuming because it feeds on suspicion while tormenting the person who carries it.
Source note: Othello, Act 3, Scene 3.
