Such is the state of every age, every sex, and every condition: all have their cares, either from nature or from folly; and whoever, therefore, finds himself inclined to envy another, should remember that he knows not the real condition which he desires to obtain, but is certain that by indulging a vicious passion, he must lessen that happiness which he thinks already too sparingly bestowed. ✨ Samuel Johnson (1836). The Works of Samuel Johnson, LL.: D., with an Essay on His Life and Genius, p.201
