And then you realize that you have a problem in a marriage when it detects that your jealous wife spoiled your favorite BMW
Jealousy is an emotion experienced by one who perceives that another person is giving something that s/he wants (typically attention, love, or affection) to a third party. For example, a child will likely become jealous when her parent gives sweets to a sibling but not to her. On an interpersonal level it is a felt threat from an outsider to an important relationship in which one is involved and produces feelings of anger and fear. It is a state of fear, suspicion or envy over one’s possessions. These quotes can be used to show the negative impact of jealousy on the mindsets of people. These can be quoted to motivate people to stay away from such emotions because they do not make a person more successful and on the other hand hamper their performance.
Never waste jealousy on a real man: it is the imaginary man that supplants us all in the long run. ~George Bernard Shaw
In jealousy there is more self-love than love. ~François, Duc de La Rochefoucauld, Maxims, 1665

Calamities are of two kinds: misfortune to ourselves, and good fortune to others. ~Ambrose Bierce
Jealousy is simply and clearly the fear that you do not have value. Jealousy scans for evidence to prove the point – that others will be preferred and rewarded more than you. There is only one alternative – self-value. If you cannot love yourself, you will not believe that you are loved. You will always think it’s a mistake or luck. Take your eyes off others and turn the scanner within. Find the seeds of your jealousy, clear the old voices and experiences. Put all the energy into building your personal and emotional security. Then you will be the one others envy, and you can remember the pain and reach out to them. ~Jennifer James
Jealousy in romance is like salt in food. A little can enhance the savor, but too much can spoil the pleasure and, under certain circumstances, can be life-threatening. ~Maya Angelou
Jealousy is the great exaggerator. ~Johann Christoph Friedrich von Schiller, The Conspiracy of Fiesco, 1783
Jealousy and love are sisters. ~Russian Proverb
As iron is eaten by rust, so are the envious consumed by envy. ~Antisthenes
Jealousy is an awkward homage which inferiority renders to merit. ~Mme. de Puixieux
