And those who are honored for some special
reason, especially for wisdom or happiness. And the ambitious are more envious
than the unambitious. And those who are wise in their own conceit, for they are
ambitious of a reputation for wisdom; and, in general, those who wish to be
distinguished in anything are envious in regard to it. And the little-minded,
because everything appears to them to be great.
Aristotle in 23 Volumes, Vol. 22, translated by J. H. Freese. Aristotle. Cambridge and London. Harvard University Press; William Heinemann Ltd. 1926.
