Joy is a loyal companion, love is a faithful friend, fear is a terrible adversary, and hatred is a merciless enemy.

Love your friends with your eyes closed, but love your enemies with both eyes open.

Love treats its enemies better than hate treats its friends.

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.

Behind you, leave your enemies. Beside you, keep your family. Around you, maintain your friends. Within you, treasure God.

Time is your acquaintance, life is your friend, death is your enemy, and existence is your soulmate.

It is better to help an enemy than to harm a friend.

Learn from acquaintances, and you are clever; from friends, and you are intelligent; from enemies, and you are shrewd; but learn from all, and you are wise.

A shrewd enemy will teach you more than a foolish friend.

If you live in the desert, view the sun not as your enemy, but as your friend. If you live in the wilderness, view nature not as your adversary, but as your companion.

Ignore those who resent you. Avoid those who begrudge you. Excuse those who envy you. Pity those who hate you.

Be merry, because it confuses your enemies; happy, because it annoys them; cheerful, because it angers them; and joyful, because it kills them.

In my youth I had three teachers: friends, enemies, and books. In my adulthood I had three professors: God, nature, and life.

To avoid enemies, say nothing; to avoid critics, do nothing; to avoid haters, be nothing; but to avoid mediocrity, ignore all.

One who thinks for himself is a threat to his enemies, a refuge to his acquaintances, a prize to his friends, and a gift to the world.

Ignorance is your opponent, fear is your enemy, vice is your adversary, virtue is your friend, and wisdom is your helper.

The greater the fruit a trees bears, the greater the number of stones thrown at it.

A rose does not answer its enemies with words, but with beauty.

The larger the bricks your enemies throw at you the larger the palace you are going to build.

When people try to bury you, remind yourself you are a seed.

Be like seeds; do not see dirt thrown at you as your enemy, but as ground to grow.

When people try to pull you down, remember, they had to look up to do so.

You don’t choose the music your enemies play, but you choose which songs you dance to.

Be who your enemies dread you'll become.

It is not your enemies that you need to conquer on the journey to greatness, but yourself.

To avoid enemies, say nothing; to avoid critics, do nothing; to avoid haters, be nothing; but to avoid mediocrity, ignore them all.

The strong overcome their opponents, the mighty crush them, the shrewd outwit them, the cowardly hide from them, but the enlightened transcend them.

Don't downgrade your dreams to upgrade your relationships.

One who conquers fear conquers his greatest enemy.

Be like the sun; warm to everyone, even your enemies.

A thorn is a rose's friend but a gardener’s enemy.

It is easier to forgive yourself of a thousand misdeeds than to forgive your enemy of one.

If you are completely surrounded by the enemies, this proves that you are damn stupid in matters of making friends and such a stupidity, such a miserable clumsiness is your biggest enemy!

One soul-mate is enough to face life's countless soul-enemies.

If seeds saw dirt as their enemy, they would lose out on the opportunity to grow.

The most dangerous enemy is the one who can easily make friends with his potential victims!

Your worst enemy can be your best teacher!
