Treating your adversary with respect is striking soft in battle.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
You have to respect your opponent.
Let your enemies be disarmed by the gentleness of your manner, but at the same time let them feel, the steadiness of your resentment.
Every character needs an adversary - one who is both challenging and a contrast for the hero. The best adversaries reveal something about the character they're contrasting.
Pay respect to your opponent.
In a battle all you need to make you fight is a little hot blood and the knowledge that it's more dangerous to lose than to win.
There are times when you have to face your enemies, sit down and deal with it.
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.
A polite enemy is just as difficult to discredit, as a rude friend is to protect.
Struggle is strengthening. Battling with evil gives us the power to battle evil even more.
That most dangerous of opponents: the one who took pains to comprehend the position of his adversary.
