So full of artless jealousy is guilt
It spills itself in fearing to be spilt.
William Shakespeare

|
I do beseech you--
Though I perchance am vicious in my guess
(As I confess it is my nature's plague
To spy into abuses, and oft my jealousy
Shapes faults that are not), that your wisdom yet
From one that so imperfectly conjects
Would take no notice, nor build yourself a trouble
Out of his scattering and unsure observance.
William Shakespeare

O, beware, my lord, of jealousy!
It is the green-eyed monster, which doth mock
The meat it feeds on. That cuckold lives in bliss
Who, certain of his fate, loves not his wronger;
But O, what damned minutes tells he o'er
Who dotes, yet doubts--suspects, yet strongly loves!
William Shakespeare

Trifles light as air
Are to the jealous confirmations strong
As proofs of holy writ.
William Shakespeare
Quotes , Source: Othello the Moor of Venice (Iago at III, iii)

But jealous souls will not be answered so;
They are not ever jealous for the cause,
But jealous for they're jealous.
'Tis a monster
Begot upon itself, born on itself.
William Shakespeare
Quotes , Source: Othello the Moor of Venice (Emilia at III, iv)

If I shall be condemned
Upon surmises, all proofs sleeping else
But what your jealousies awake, I tell you
'Tis rigor and not law.
William Shakespeare

Never waste jealousy on a real man: it is the imaginary man that
supplants us all in the long run.
William Shakespeare

Entire affection hateth nicer hands.
Edmund Spenser

But through the heart
Should Jealousy its venom once diffuse,
'Tis then delightful misery no more,
But agony unmix'd, incessant gall,
Corroding every thought, and blasting all
Love's paradise.
James Thomson (1)

Who surpasses or subdues mankind, must look down on the hate of those below.

Plain women are always jealous of their husbands. Beautiful women never are. They are always so occupied with being jealous of other women's husbands.
Oscar Wilde
Quotes

Jealousy is indeed a poor medium to secure love, but it is a secure medium to destroy one's self-respect. For jealous people, like dope-fiends, stoop to the lowest level and in the end inspire only disgust and loathing.
Emma Goldman
