Enemies!

Some random quotes about enemies. I think it's definitely healthy to have at least one enemy, or two, or a whole grip of them. If you don't, go forth and foster them, not for the sake of course of merely having one, but for reasons linked to being human and having a brain. Beside it being character building, it really is a blessing in disguise, and in some respect, a measure of one's success, given your enemies are so not because of some moral reprehensibilities.

Forgive your enemies, but never forget their names. -JFK

You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life.-Winston Churchill

Observe your enemies, for they first find out your faults.-Antisthenes

A wise man gets more use from his enemies than a fool from his friends-Baltazar Gracian

You can observe what your enemy fears most by observing the means he uses to frighten you- Eric Hoffer

A man cannot be too careful in his choice of enemies-Oscar Wilde

I have never made but one prayer to God, a very short one: 'O Lord, make my enemies ridiculous'. And God granted it.-Voltaire
