Abraham Lincoln  There is no little enemy. •Benjamin Franklin  The friend of my enemy is my enemy. •Anonymous   With friends like this, who needs enemies? •Henny Youngman   It is impossible for one person to know another so well that he can dispense with belief. •Friedrich Durrenmatt   The quarrels of friends are the opportunities of foes. •Aesop   The reason grandparents and grandchildren get along so well is that they have a common enemy. •Sam Levenson  It is easier to forgive an enemy than to forgive a friend. •William Blake  He hasn't an enemy in the world - but all his friends hate him. •Eddie Cantor  You can discover what your enemy fears most by observing the means he uses to frighten you. •Eric Hoffer  I do not regret one professional enemy I have made. Any actor who doesn't dare to make an enemy should get out of the business. •Bette Davis  It is hard to fight an enemy who has outposts in your head. •Sally Kempton  We learn our virtues from our friends who love us; our faults from the enemy who hates us. We cannot easily discover our real character from a friend. He is a mirror, on which the warmth of our breath impedes the clearness of the reflection. •Ricther  Mankind's worst enemy is fear of work. •Anonymous  Enemies promises were made to be broken. •Aesop   The worst tyrants are those which establish themselves in our own breasts. •William Ellery Channing   You shall judge a man by his foes as well as by his friends. •Joseph Conrad   Love your enemies just in case your friends turn out to be a bunch of bastards. •R A Dickson   I have met the enemy, and it is the eyes of other people. •Benjamin Franklin   A wise man learns more from his enemies than a fool from his friends. •Baltasar Gracian   I have no trouble with my enemies.

Kennedy   Only enemies speak the truth. Friends and lovers lie endlessly, caught in the web of duty. •Stephen King   Our enemies come nearer the truth in the opinions they form of us than we do in our opinion of ourselves. •Francois De La Rochefoucauld   There is no stronger bond of friendship than a mutual enemy. •Frankfort Moore   He who lives by fighting with an enemy has an interest in the preservation of the enemy's life. •Friedrich Nietzsche   Bear patiently with a rival. •Ovid   Talk well of your friends and of your enemies say nothing. •Proverb   Was it a friend or foe that spread these lies? Nay, who but infants question in such wise, 'twas one of my most intimate enemies. •Dante Gabriel Rossetti   Remember, to them it is us who are the enemy. •N. F. Simpson   Convince an enemy, convince him that he's wrong. To win a bloodless battle, the victory is long. A simple act of faith, reason over might. To blow up his children would only prove him right. •Gordon Sumner   One enemy can do more hurt than ten friends can do good. •Jonathan Swift   In my life, I have prayed but one prayer: oh Lord, make my enemies ridiculous. And God granted it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13861</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The secret of forgiving everything is to understand nothing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16541]]></link><description><![CDATA[The secret of forgiving everything is to understand nothing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16541</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[...the evils of mankind are caused, not by the primary aggressiveness of individuals, but by their self-transcending identification with groups ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51998]]></link><description><![CDATA[...the evils of mankind are caused, not by the primary aggressiveness of individuals, but by their self-transcending identification with groups whose common denominator is low intelligence and high emotionality.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51998</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The intelligence which has learned to be a law to itself, criticising, rejecting, appropriating, assimilating, cannot deny its nature and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8006]]></link><description><![CDATA[The intelligence which has learned to be a law to itself, criticising, rejecting, appropriating, assimilating, cannot deny its nature and suspend its functions when it opens the New Testament. It cannot make itself the slave of men, not even though the men are Peter and Paul and John; no, not even though it were the Son of Man Himself. It resents dictation, not willfully nor wantonly, but because it must; and it resents it all the more when it claims to be inspired. If, therefore, the Atonement can only be received by those who are prepared from the threshold to acknowledge the inspiration and the consequent authority of Scripture, it can never be received by modern men at all.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8006</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The office of president is a bastardized thing, half royalty and half democracy, that nobody knows whether to genuflect or ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47000]]></link><description><![CDATA[The office of president is a bastardized thing, half royalty and half democracy, that nobody knows whether to genuflect or spit.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47000</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If someone is blessed as I am is not willing to clean out the barn, who will? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13676]]></link><description><![CDATA[If someone is blessed as I am is not willing to clean out the barn, who will?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13676</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The vision is really about empowering workers, giving them all the information about what's going on so they can do ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60847]]></link><description><![CDATA[The vision is really about empowering workers, giving them all the information about what's going on so they can do a lot more than they've done in the past.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60847</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Music is moonlight in the gloomy night of life. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43507]]></link><description><![CDATA[Music is moonlight in the gloomy night of life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43507</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I was very pleased with the way the team played, especially they way they hustled and dove on defense.
