A wise man gets more use from his enemies than a fool from his friends.
No intelligent man believes that anybody ever willingly errs or willingly does base and evil deeds; they are well aware that all who do base and evil things do them unwillingly.

Nothing is as dangerous as an ignorant friend; a wise enemy is to be preferred.
