Enemies Quotes
Enemies gifts are no gifts and do no good.
Sophocles
Our friends show us what we can do; our enemies teach us what we must do.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
When would-be reformers arise, they are rejected as heretics, turncoats, troublemakers, disturbers of the peace, traitors, and enemies.
Brian D. McLaren
Instead of loving your enemies, have no enemies to love.
Norm MacDonald
The greatest joy a man can know is to conquer his enemies and drive them before him. To ride their horses and take away their possessions, to see the faces of those who were dear to them bedewed with tears, and to clasp their wives and daughters in his arms.
Conn Iggulden
Pray Heaven that our enemies may fight each other to the bitter end, and by their obstinacy extinguish each other.
Ernest Belfort Bax
If any two men desire the same thing, which nevertheless they cannot both enjoy, they become enemies.
Thomas Hobbes
Rome remained great as long as she had enemies who forced her to unity, vision, and heroism. When she had overcome them all she flourished for a moment and then began to die.
Will Durant
Surely as a man may say of a rock--nothing more quiet, because it is never stirred; and yet nothing more unquiet, because it is ever assaulted--so we may say of the church--nothing more peaceable, because it is established upon a rock; and yet nothing more unpeaceable, because that rock is in the midst of seas, winds, enemies, and persecutions.
Edward Reynolds
Better that right counsels be known to enemies than that the evil secrets of tyrants should be concealed from the citizens. They who can treat secretly of the affairs of a nation have it absolutely under their authority; and as they plot against the enemy in time of war, so do they against the citizens in time of peace.
Baruch Spinoza
Your enemies have neither the proof nor the backbone to stand against you, but say something often enough in vulnerable ears and incredulity turns to belief.
Elizabeth Chadwick
Our own evil inclinations are far more dangerous than any external enemies.
Ambrose
