If we just wanted to be happy, that would be easy; but we want to be happier than others, and this is almost always difficult, because we think others are happier than they really are.
"Hungarian
"Ha csak boldogok akarnánk lenni, az könnyű dolog volna; ámde boldogabbak akarunk lenni a többieknél, s ez bizony csaknem mindig nehéz, mert a többieket boldogabbnak véljük annál, amilyenek valójában."
