Do not come into agreement with fear. Activate your faith, live in victory, speak over your life and expect great things to come your way.
If the surprise outcome of the recent UK referendum - on whether to leave or remain in the European Union - teaches us anything, it is that supposedly worthy displays of democracy in action can actually do more harm than good. Witness a nation now more divided; an intergenerational schism in the making; both a governing and opposition party torn to shreds from the inside; infinitely more complex issues raised than satisfactory solutions provided. It begs the question 'Was it really all worth it' ?
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.
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.
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
Be like the sun; warm to everyone, even your enemies.
If the idea of loving those whom you have been taught to recognize as your enemies is too overwhelming, consider more deeply the observation that we are all much more alike than we are unalike.
You were given the problems you have because you can solve them.You were given the burdens you have because you can carry them.You were given the trials you have because you can overcome them.You were given the opponents you have because you can beat them.You were given the enemies you have because you can conquer them.
If seeds saw dirt as their enemy, they would lose out on the opportunity to grow.
