      [1913 Webster]

   Syn: Pique, rancor; malevolence; grudge.

   Usage: Spite, Malice. Malice has more reference to the
          disposition, and spite to the manifestation of it in
          words and actions. It is, therefore, meaner than
          malice, thought not always more criminal. " Malice . .
          . is more frequently employed to express the
          dispositions of inferior minds to execute every
          purpose of mischief within the more limited circle of
          their abilities." --Cogan. "Consider eke, that spite
          availeth naught." --Wyatt. See Pique.
          [1913 Webster]
