'Who are the thieves that steal
into man and steal away his peace and joy?
It is the thieves of Desire, Pride, Greed,
Infatuation, Anger and Jealousy,
who rob man of his riches.
But the worst of all thieves
who inflicts the worst damage is envy.
That is why it is said,
'You can befriend an angry man, you can sleep beside a serpent, but you should not befriend an envious one.'
