When women love us, they forgive us everything, even our crimes; When they do not love us, they give us credit for nothing, not even our virtues.

Honor de Balzac

A noble man compares and estimates himself by an idea which is higher than himself; and a mean man, by one lower than himself. The one produces aspiration; the other ambition, which is the way in which a vulgar man aspires.

Marcus Aurelius

Instead of abandoning your lawn for the "greener" grass on the other side, why don't you try nurturing and repairing your OWN grass first?
