Jealousy lives upon suspicion; and it turns into a fury or ends as soon as it passes from suspicion to certainty.

— François de La Rochefoucauld Reflections; or Sentences and Moral Maxims (1665)

La jalousie se nourrit dans les doutes, et elle devient fureur, ou elle finit, sitôt qu'on passe du doute à la certitude.
