As ravenous fishes, do a vessel follow
That is new trimmed, but benefit no further
Than vainly longing. [ William Shakespeare, Henry VIII ]
A malicious enemy is better than a clumsy friend. [ Madame Swetchine ]
The malicious sneer is improperly called laughter. [ Goldsmith ]
Emulation is lively and generous, envy base and .malicious. [ Proverb ]

Love is a malicious blind boy, who seeks to blind the eyes of his guide, that both may go astray together.
