Quote by Mark Twain

Man will do many things to get himself loved; he will do all things to get himself envied.

Man will do many things to get himself loved; he will do all

Summary

This quote suggests that humans have a tendency to seek the admiration and love of others. They are willing to go to great lengths to gain the affection and approval of those around them. However, when it comes to being envied, individuals exhibit an even stronger urge. They are motivated to engage in any activity or behavior that will cause others to feel jealousy or covet what they possess. This quote highlights the sometimes manipulative nature of human behavior and our innate desire for both love and recognition.
