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' ?

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.

Some gifts are baits! Watch out!

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

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

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

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

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

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

Clenched fists are not open to receive blessings.

Anyone who prays for the death of his enemy must consider who tempted Jesus Christ, the persecution of the apostles and the Psalm 23 of David

Lack can greatly be the reasons for our conscious and unconscious steps in life. Mind what you lack, move for what is a must and be happy with what you have!
