It is equally
clear for what reason, and of whom, and in what frame of mind, men are envious,
if envy is a kind of pain at the sight of good fortune in regard to the goods
mentioned; in the case of those like themselves; and not for the sake of a man
getting anything, but because of others possessing it. For those men will be
envious who have, or seem to have, others “like” them.
Aristotle in 23 Volumes, Vol. 22, translated by J. H. Freese. Aristotle. Cambridge and London. Harvard University Press; William Heinemann Ltd. 1926.
