“Where envy reigns virtue can't live.”

Simplified Meaning:
When people are full of jealousy, good qualities and actions can't flourish. Imagine you have a friend who always wants what others have. If they see someone with a nice car or a good job, they feel envious and start talking badly about that person. This behavior makes it hard for them to be happy for others or even enjoy what they have themselves. Jealousy eats away at their ability to be kind, honest, and fair. To live well, it's better to focus on improving yourself rather than being envious of others. Embracing your own strengths and achievements can help you stay positive and build better relationships.
