I've always said that in politics, your enemies can't hurt you, but your friends will kill you.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It is not necessary to have enemies if you go out of your way to make friends hate you.
Politicians as a class are dangerous, that people who are seeking power over us are not, by definition, our friends.
The way politics divides the world is into friend and enemy.
I have had a lot of adversaries in my political life, but no enemies that I can remember.
I have no trouble with my enemies. I can take care of my enemies in a fight. But my friends, my goddamned friends, they're the ones who keep me walking the floor at nights!
Do I not destroy my enemies when I make them my friends?
In order to have an enemy, one must be somebody. One must be a force before he can be resisted by another force. A malicious enemy is better than a clumsy friend.
No one is to be called an enemy, all are your benefactors, and no one does you harm. You have no enemy except yourselves.
You don't make peace with friends. You make it with very unsavory enemies.
In politics, madame, you need two things: friends, but above all an enemy.
