Examples

  • Envy is the worst disturber or embitterer of man's declining years; but it does not deserve the name of a passion -- and is a disease, not of the poor in spirit -- for they are blessed -- but of the mean, and then they indeed are cursed.

    Recreations of Christopher North, Volume 2 John Wilson 1819
