Quote by Aeschylus

He who goes unenvied shall not be admired.

He who goes unenvied shall not be admired.

Summary

This quote suggests that if someone is not subjected to envy or jealousy, they will not receive admiration or respect from others. It implies that being envied is a crucial aspect of gaining admiration because envy stems from acknowledging someone's achievements or qualities that are seen as desirable. Conversely, someone who leads an unenvied life might go unnoticed or unacknowledged by others, potentially missing out on the admiration and recognition that could come with being valued and esteemed.
