Maxim 49
 
 
  An envious man is avaricious with the wealth of God and hates the
guiltless as foes.
 
 
        I saw a crackbrained little man,
        Reviling a possessor of dignity,
        Who replied: 'O fellow, if thou art unlucky,
        What guilt is there in lucky men?'
 
 
    Forbear to wish evil to an envious man
    Because the ill-starred fellow is an evil to himself.
    What needest thou to show enmity to him
    Who has such a foe on the nape of his neck?
