--FIELDING.
All the other passions condescend at times to accept the inexorable
logic of facts; but jealousy looks facts straight in the face, ignores
them utterly, and says that she knows a great deal better than they

The jealous man's disease is of so malignant a nature that it
converts all it takes into its own nourishment.--ADDISON.
Trifles light as air
Are to the jealous confirmations strong
