We survive and evolve by the skin of our teeth. We really wouldn't want it any other way.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1161</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Madame, bear in mind That princes govern all things--save the wind. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61648]]></link><description><![CDATA[Madame, bear in mind That princes govern all things--save the wind.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61648</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Few things in the world are more powerful than a positive push.

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.

They're the ones that keep me walking the floor nights! •Warren Gamaliel Harding   Man's chief enemy is his own unruly nature and the dark forces put up within him. •Ernest Jones   Forgive your enemies, but never forget their names. •John F. 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.
