I count him braver who overcomes his desires than him who conquers his enemies; for the hardest victory is over self.
Quote by -Aristotle
In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.
Quote by -Martin Luther King
“These are the things which might conceivably and truly make men forgive their enemies. We can only turn hate to love by understanding what are the things that men have loved; nor is it necessary to ask men to hate their loves in order to love one another. Just as two grocers are most likely to be reconciled when they remember for a moment that they are two fathers, so two nationals are most likely to be reconciled when they remember (if only for a moment) that they are two patriots.”
Quote by -Gilbert K Chesterton
“The Bible tells us to love our neighbors, and also to love our enemies; probably because they are generally the same people.”
Quote by -Gilbert K Chesterton
I am not one of these guys who is just going to waste American lives by throwing people needlessly in frontal attacks up against the enemy if I can avoid doing that.
Quote by -Norman Schwarzkopf

Quote by -Norman Schwarzkopf
“Every effect that one produces gives one an enemy. To be popular one must be a mediocrity.”
Quote by -Oscar Wilde
“There is a luxury in self-reproach. When we blame ourselves we feel that no one else has a right to blame us.”
Quote by -Oscar Wilde
Even though there wasn't much damage, it's a disgrace that the skies over the imperial capital should have been defiled without a single enemy plane being shot down. It provides a regrettably graphic illustration of the saying that a bungling attack is better than the most skillful defense.
Quote by -Isoroku Yamamoto
A military man can scarcely pride himself on having 'smitten a sleeping enemy'; it is more a matter of shame, simply, for the one smitten. I would rather you made your appraisal after seeing what the enemy does, since it is certain that, angered and outraged, he will soon launch a determined counterattack.
Quote by -Isoroku Yamamoto
It is easy enough to be friendly to one's friends. But to befriend the one who regards himself as your enemy is the quintessence of true religion. The other is mere business.
Quote by -Mahatama Gandhi
"We are tired of words, of betrayals, of indifference...they years are gone when the farm worker said nothing an did nothing to help himself...Now we have new faith. Through our strong will, our movement is changing these conditions...We shall be heard."
Quote by -Cesar Chavez
"Though many of the poor have come to see the affluent middle class as its enemy, that class actually stands between the poor and the real powers in this society - the administrative octopus with its head in Washington, the conglomerates, the military complex."
Quote by -Cesar Chavez
"I was really hyperactive as a kid and no one knew how or where I got all this energy."
Quote by -Catherine Zeta-Jones
"Nothing is ever done beautifully which is done in rivalship: or nobly, which is done in pride."
Quote by -John Ruskin
"Nothing is ever done beautifully which is done in rivalship: or nobly, which is done in pride"
Quote by -John Ruskin
"It is not a field of a few acres of ground, but a cause, that we are defending, and whether we defeat the enemy in one battle, or by degrees, the consequences will be the same."
Quote by -Thomas Paine
"He that would make his own liberty secure must guard even his enemy from oppression;for if he violates this duty he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself."
Quote by -Thomas Paine
"The nuclear arms race is like two sworn enemies standing waist deep in gasoline, one with three matches, the other with five."
Quote by -Carl Sagan
“One's only rival is one's own potentialities. One's only failure is failing to live up to one's own possibilities. In this sense, every man can be a king, and must therefore be treated like a king.”
Quote by -Abraham Maslow
“The furious behaviour of an angry man is more likely to exasperate us against himself than against his enemies.”
Quote by -Adam Smith
“A doubtful friend is worse than a certain enemy. Let a man be one thing or the other, and we then know how to meet him.”
Quote by -Aesop
“The haft of the arrow had been feathered with one of the eagles own plumes. We often give our enemies the means of our own destruction.”
Quote by -Aesop
“United you will be more than a match for your enemies. But if you quarrel and separate, your weakness will put you at the mercy of those who attack you.”
Quote by -Aesop
“If we {Federalists] must have an enemy at the head of government, let it be one whom we can oppose, and for whom we are not responsible, who will not involve our party in the disgrace of his foolish and bad measures. Under Adams as under Jefferson, the government shall sink. The party in the hands of whose chief it shall sink will sink with it—and the advantage will be all on the side of his adversaries.”
Quote by -Alexander Hamilton
“Next to hating their enemies, men are most inclined to flatter them.”
Quote by -Alexis de Tocqueville
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.
Quote by -Will Durant
It's all very well to tell us to forgive our enemies; our enemies can never hurt us very much. But oh, what about forgiving our friends?
Quote by -Willa Cather
War is the remedy that our enemies have chosen, and I say let us give them all they want.
Quote by -William Tecumseh Sherman
It is wrong to make anyone into an enemy; it is wrong to scare the people of one's own country with that enemy and try to rally some allies on that basis.
Quote by -Vladimir Putin
For the enemy to be recognized and feared, he has to be in your home or on your doorstep.
Quote by -Umberto Eco
The enemy doesn't care how many days you live as long as you don't live in the days you have.
Quote by -T. D Jakes
