Jealousy is the jaundice of the soul.

Jealousy is the jaundice of the soul.

Summary

This quote suggests that jealousy is a negative emotion that corrupts and distorts the perception of oneself and others. Like the jaundice disease affects the liver and gives a yellowish tint to the skin, jealousy affects the soul, causing bitterness and an unhealthy mindset. It implies that jealousy not only harms the individual experiencing it but also taints their ability to see things objectively and can negatively impact their relationships and overall well-being.
