Envy:

via Rob Henderson:

"the envious person... Instead of deriving pleasure from what he has, he derives pain from what others have. If he can he deprives others of the advantages, which to him is as desirable as it would be to secure the same advantages to himself."

"women regard all other women as their competitors, whereas men as a rule only have this feelings towards other men in the same profession. Have you, reader, ever been so imprudent as to praise an artist to another artist? Have you ever praised a politician to another politician of the same party? Have you ever praised an Egyptologist do another Egyptologist? If you have, it is a hundred to one that you will have produced an explosion of jealousy."
