A polite enemy is just as difficult to discredit, as a rude friend is to protect.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Nothing is more dangerous than a friend without discretion; even a prudent enemy is preferable.
Etiquette does not render you defenseless. If it did, even I wouldn't subscribe to it. But rudeness in retaliation for rudeness just doubles the amount of rudeness in the world.
It is easier to forgive an enemy than to forgive a friend.
True politeness consists in being easy one's self, and in making every one about one as easy as one can.
It is not necessary to have enemies if you go out of your way to make friends hate you.
If you find someone who agrees with you 80 percent of the time that is your friend not your enemy.
It is easy to be nice, even to an enemy - from lack of character.
Always forgive your enemies - nothing annoys them so much.
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.
I'm not a good person to have as an enemy; say nice things about me.
