The treachery of a friend is worse than that of a foe.

Hannah Kent

Dear is my friend--yet from my foe, as from my friend, comes good: My friend shows what I can do, and my foe what I should.

Friedrich Schiller

We are at war - undeclared and of such a subtle nature that few have noticed - but war nevertheless. It is a cyberwar on many fronts, in which it is difficult to identify who is friend and who is foe. I will predict now, as unintelligible as it may seem, that Anonymous will turn out to be more friend than foe.

John McAfee

An open foe may prove a curse, but a pretended friend is worse.

John Gay

A Wolf eats sheep but now and then; Ten thousands are devour'd by men. An open foe may prove a curse, but a pretend friend is worse.

John Gay

Whatever an enemy might do to an enemy, or a foe to a foe, the ill-directed mind can do to you even worse.

Gautama Buddha

A strong foe is better than a weak friend.

There are worse things than having behaved foolishly in public. There are worse things than these miniature betrayals, committed or endured or suspected; there are worse things than not being able to sleep for thinking about them. It is 5 a.m. All the worse things come stalking in and stand icily about the bed looking worse and worse and worse.

Fleur Adcock

And if the worst, or best, happens, and Death comes for you in the snow, he comes disguised as Sleep, and you greet him rather as a welcome friend than a gruesome foe.

Apsley Cherry-Garrard

There's nothing worse than a bunch of toothless, ignorant people yelling at you. It's horrible.

Matt Riddle

If an ignorant person is attracted by the things of the world, that is bad. But if a learned person is thus attracted, it is worse.

Abu Bakr

Racism is worse than ever. Violence is worse than ever. The economy's worse than ever. Unemployment's worse than ever. And it's Democrats that have been running the show, with the first African-American president at the top of the heap, and it didn't get any better?
