Only what is below you tries to pull you down.

The world is already full of critics; to stand out, be an encourager.

Worry soils, even the purest mind.Envy poisons, even the purest heart.Greed sullies, even the purest soul.

They will hate you if you are beautiful. They will hate you if you are successful. They will hate you if you are right. They will hate you if you are popular. They will hate you when you get attention. They will hate you when people in their life like you. They will hate you if you worship a different version of their God. They will hate you if you are spiritual. They will hate you if you have courage. They will hate you if you have an opinion. They will hate you when people support you. They will hate you when they see you happy. Heck, they will hate you while they post prayers and religious quotes on Pinterest and Facebook. They just hate. However, remember this: They hate you because you represent something they feel they don’t have. It really isn’t about you. It is about the hatred they have for themselves. So smile today because there is something you are doing right that has a lot of people thinking about you.

Jealousy says, “Compete with each other.” Envy says, “Destroy each other.” Empathy says, “Help each other.” Love says, “Empower each other.

Hate is strong, fear is mighty, jealousy is powerful, but love is invincible.

No one tries to stone a tree whose fruit is not ripe.

When reaching for the stars, beware of those who want to cut off your hands.

Jealousy stings, envy poisons, anger harms, and hate murders.

Don’t try to silence other people’s genius because you’re too deaf to hear your own.

Better an unsung HERO than the source of envy.

A rose, no matter how beautiful, still has to contend with thorns.

A flower does not diminish in beauty, no matter how many weeds envy it.

Ignore those who resent you. Avoid those who begrudge you. Excuse those who envy you. Pity those who hate you.

A flower in a desert still has no reason to envy a thorn in a rainforest.

To avoid enemies, say nothing; to avoid critics, do nothing; to avoid haters, be nothing; but to avoid mediocrity, ignore all.

As only dead leaves allow the wind to blow them to and fro, never allow yourself to be swayed by popular opinion.

It is in vain to try and stop a star from rising, even with a ladder.

To achieve success, ignore doubt; fame, ignore haters; greatness, ignore fear; and immortality, ignore hardship.

The greater the fruit a trees bears, the greater the number of stones thrown at it.

If you tend to a flower, it will bloom, no matter how many weeds surround it.

The louder the dogs bark the less a lion feels threatened.

When all seems to be against you, remember, a ship sometimes has to sail against the current, not with it.

Ignore your haters. Resist your fears. Embrace your dreams.

A rose does not answer its enemies with words, but with beauty.

The larger the bricks your enemies throw at you the larger the palace you are going to build.

Smile, just to infuriate those who envy you.

When people try to bury you, remind yourself you are a seed.

Be like seeds; do not see dirt thrown at you as your enemy, but as ground to grow.

When people try to pull you down, remember, they had to look up to do so.

Wings can only flyas long as the bird flies Soul blackens when you put on vestment of lies White candle wax criesfor ignitable wickJealous people burnto make your heart feel sick

Be who your enemies dread you'll become.

Excellence annoys your haters, success infuriates them, and genius kills them.

They fired arrows at me, but I did not fire back. I picked them up instead to build my castle.

Learn from seeds to rise, no matter how much dirt is thrown at you.

To avoid enemies, say nothing; to avoid critics, do nothing; to avoid haters, be nothing; but to avoid mediocrity, ignore them all.

If a lion turned every time small dogs barked at it, it would be the laughing stock of the jungle.

The road to success is paved with doubters and haters.

If the grass is greener on the other side, start watering your own.

The bigger the bricks critics throw at you the bigger the palace you are going to build.

When your critics raise hell keep building your heaven.

Believe in yourself, not in your critics.

The opinion of success matters more than the opinions of your critics.

If you listen to critics for too long, you will become deaf to success.

The higher you rise, the smaller your enemies.

Critics are loud, but success is louder.

Loud critics are silenced by loud success.

People only stone a tree that is full of ripe fruit.

One who throws stones at others has less to use to build his own house.

A rose does not lose sleep because it was mocked by weeds.

Because the moon is not jealous of the sun, it benefits from its light.

You can curse the sun a thousand times, but cannot keep it from shining, even for a day.

It is in vain to stone the sky, no matter how big the rock is.

If roses were not special weeds would not envy them.

In order to bring down the great, you have to be able to reach the stars.

You have not accomplished anything significant if no one envies you.

Rising amateurs always intimidate falling masters.

Critics do not determine how high an eagle flies.

Small people have small minds, and thus deride big dreamers.Small people have small hearts, and thus disparage big chancers.Small people have small souls, and thus disdain big achievers.

Do not trust everyone who smiles at you;some admire your achievements,but some misunderstand them,and many more envy them.Jealousy is like the sky:everywhere on everyone.

Envy is the desire to have what someone else has. Jealousy is the fear of losing what you have. The more insecure you are about yourself or your relationship, the more jealous you are, because you are afraid to lose your significant other to someone else.

If you cannot be happy with the little you have, you can be confused with the lot you want to have

Most people do not want much. All they want is to be envied by most people.

Envy: Instead of focusing on your own goals, your goal becomes throwing off the rails other people’s goals and at the end of the day you gain nothing but a mischievous satisfaction that you have destroyed someone’s dream

When they try to judge you,remember, they themselves are judged.When they try to condemn you,remember, they themselves are condemned.When they try to break you,remember, they themselves are broken.When they try to hurt you,remember, they themselves are hurting.

You become strong by lifting others up, not pulling them down.

Those who envy you inadvertently admit to being inferior to you.

When an eagle spreads its wings to fly, even the swan is envious.

It is not the fault of the stars that they shine brightly, but the fault of our eyes that they cannot handle light.

As a bird with beautiful feathers is the target of hunters, so the gifted are targets of the envious.

You will never be free until you free yourself from the prison of other people's opinions of you.

When they judge you, yawn.When they misunderstand you, smile.When they underestimate you, laugh.When they condemn you, ignore.When they envy you, rejoice.When they oppose you, prevail.

Do not hold grudges against those who try to keep you down; the higher you go, the smaller they become. Do not trust those who try to push you down once you are up;the more envious they are, the more dangerous they become.

Roses do not take beauty advice from weeds.

There is no greater beast than envy, no greater thief than fear, no greater enemy than greed, no greater predator than wrath, and no greater poison than bitterness.

Envy is admiration laced with resentment.

It’s okay to glance at the light of another. But when you look to long, it will blind you from seeing your own.

When the sun rises it casts a shadow on what does not shine as bright as it.

Many critics are born of envy.

Envy is a sign that you are being overtaken

Never be envious of what someone else has.You don't know the price they paid to get it, and you don't know the price they are paying to keep it.

Be happy when people envy you, you are on the right path
