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.

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.
