    That self-same day, by fight or by surprize,
    To win the mount of God, and on his throne
    To set the envier of his state, the proud
    Aspirer; but their thoughts prov’d fond and vain. John Milton.

    All preferments in church and state were given by him, all his kindred and friends promoted, and all his enemies and enviers discountenanced. Edward Hyde.

Wikipedia

  1. envier

    Envy is an emotion which occurs when a person lacks another's quality, skill, achievement, or possession and either desires it or wishes that the other lacked it.Aristotle defined envy as pain at the sight of another's good fortune, stirred by "those who have what we ought to have". Bertrand Russell said that envy was one of the most potent causes of unhappiness. Recent research considered the conditions under which it occurs, how people deal with it, and whether it can inspire people to emulate those they envy.
