God dramatically slew one monstrous opponent and then threw us into the arena against a stronger and more vicious foe.

K. Howard Joslin

The best way to destroy your enemies is to make them adopt your worldview

Bangambiki Habyarimana

Keep quiet and the enemy will reveal himself.

Bangambiki Habyarimana

A fool friend always does something that the enemy wishes.

Alireza Salehi Nejad

If you need to find out who is your friend among many, stimulate a resolutive conflict.

Toba Beta

As long as all that is said is said against me, I feel a certain sublime assurance of success, but as soon as honied words of praise are spoken for me, I feel as one that lies unprotected before his enemies.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Your path is not my path. Should we meet at the crossroads and ye be a friend, tarry a while, drink some wine and let us laugh for a while. If ye be foe, continue on your merry way and may our paths never cross again.

Virginia Alison

Don’t fight with your enemy’s brains, fight with his heart

Bangambiki Habyarimana

And if the worst, or best, happens, and Death comes for you in the snow, he comes disguised as Sleep, and you greet him rather as a welcome friend than a gruesome foe.

Apsley Cherry-Garrard

In every story there is a silence, some sight concealed, some word unspoken, I believe. Till we have spoken the unspoken we have not come to the heart of the story.

Is that the secret meaning of the word story, do you think: a storing place of memories?

And one day when you wake up, you happen to realise that your battle isn’t with the man you had got into a brawl with the other day, it isn’t with a friend turned foe, it isn’t with those parents who chose to give up on you, it isn’t with the bus driver for not having waited until you got in, it isn’t with the employer who cancelled the application to your leave, it isn’t with the examiner who resolved into failing you, it isn’t with the woman who did not reciprocate your feelings, it isn’t with child who dropped his ice-cream cone on you, it isn’t with your ill fate and it isn’t with that superior being above you. Your battle, your fight isn’t against the world but against yourself and the only way to come through all of it and beyond, to win, is improvement, self-improvement which needs to be gradual and progressive with the transverse of each day.

Chirag Tulsiani

Failure is a friend if we can see past the face of the foe that we project on it.

Craig D. Lounsbrough

If your success is not amazing to your critics, it disturbs, infuriates, and frustrates them, and if they're not careful; may go hang themselves and go to hell.

Michael Bassey Johnson

Pride can be friend, ego can be foe...depending on which one we choose, or not, to conquer.

Enemies are the people who think about you more than your friends do.

Donna Lynn Hope

The reason you don't succeed in life is because you are too lenient with your deadly enemies. Identify them and eradicate them completely, don't let any of their seed escape your vengeful sword. Don't negotiate with the enemy and never make deals with them. Only after you have wiped them out of the map will success smile at you

Bangambiki Habyarimana

To know the good from the bad, study a man or woman's history of actions, not their record of intentions.

If you aren't destroying your enemies, it's because you have been conquered and assimilated, you do not even have an idea of who your enemies are. You have been brainwashed into believing you are your own enemy, and you are set against yourself. The enemy is laughing at you as you tear yourself to pieces. That is the most effective warfare an enemy can launch on his foes: confounding them.

Bangambiki Habyarimana

We are way less likely to love someone just because they love us than we are to hate someone just because they hate us.
