Enemy Quotes
-
Better a wrong will than a wavering; better a steadfast enemy than an uncertain friend; better a false belief than no belief at all.
George Eliot
-
I'm a white male in power. In many cases, I'm the enemy.
Harper Reed
-
And who can suffer injury by just taxation, impartial laws and the application of the Jeffersonian doctrine of equal rights to all and special privileges to none? Only those whose accumulations are stained with dishonesty and whose immoral methods have given them a distorted view of business, society and government. Accumulating by conscious frauds more money than they can use upon themselves, wisely distribute or safely leave to their children, these denounce as public enemies all who question their methods or throw a light upon their crimes.
William Jennings Bryan
-
In politics, purity is the enemy of victory.
Haley Reeves Barbour
-

Government is not reason; it is not eloquent; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master. Experience has taught us that it is much easier to prevent an enemy from posting themselves than it is to dislodge them after they have got possession, and when the freedom of speech is taken away then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter.
George Washington
-
Living well and ripping your enemy's still-beating heart out with your bare hands is the best revenge.
Michael O'Donoghue
-
...my soul always reverts to the Old Testament and to Shakespeare. There at least one feels that it's human beings talking. There people hate, people love, people murder their enemy and curse his descendants through all generations, there people sin.
Soren Kierkegaard
-
Nature is not our enemy, to be raped and conquered. Nature is ourselves, to be cherished and explored.
Terence McKenna
-
Procrastination is the enemy of time and results in lost opportunity.
Bishop Noel Jones
-
My instinct tells me "purpose" is maybe the enemy of a good personal essay. In my own experience, I'm always lost and wandering and searching - where am I? how'd I get in this mess? what's the point? - right through to the final draft, and sometimes even beyond that - baffled and defeated still, confused as to purpose long after the thing's in print. I never really have a guiding purpose or a point, not at the outset, anyway. It's like life: It's all discovered en route.
Charles D'Ambrosio
-
The surest and most insidious enemy of freedom is not dictatorship, but complacency.
Natalie Angier
