If somebody is mean or rude, I just, I don't engage - just block and say, 'Well, that's not very polite.'

Bryan Fuller

You got to have an enemy to fight. And when you have an enemy to fight, then you can unite the entire world behind you, and you seize power. That was Hitler's plan. His enemy: the Jew. Al Gore's enemy, the U.N.'s enemy: global warming. Then you get the scientists - eugenics. You get the scientists - global warming. Then you have to discredit the scientists who say, 'That's not right.' And you must silence all dissenting voices. That's what Hitler did.

Glenn Beck

Just because you're the enemy of my enemy don't mean you're my friend, Han thought.

Cinda Williams Chima

Reveal not every secret you have to a friend, for how can you tell but that friend may hereafter become and enemy. And bring not all mischief you are able to upon an enemy, for he may one day become your friend.

Saadi

If the enemy of my enemy is my friend, then surely you should be friend to my friend.

Holly Black

No language is rude that can boast polite writers.

Aubrey Beardsley

I can be very polite, and I think that people can confuse that for all sorts of things... But I'll take that over people assuming that I'm smart just because I'm short and rude.

Amy Adams

It's rude to not try and look up-to-date. Is rude the right word? Yes! It's rude - rude to other people.

Nicholas Haslam

I have seen people rude by being over-polite.

Michel de Montaigne

The qualities that make parties such a nightmare for people - and also so pleasurable - make them incredibly important inside of fiction. There's a chaos agent quality to them: You just don't know who's going to be there or why. You could run into an old enemy, an old friend, an old friend who's become an enemy.

Alexander Chee

An enemy might at any time become a friend, but while an enemy was an enemy he should be trodden on and persecuted.

Anthony Trollope

It is more comfortable for me, in the long run, to be rude than polite.

Wyndham Lewis

You have to be a friend to yourself. You know, 'cause if you're not a friend to yourself, you're an enemy to yourself and if someone's a friend of everybody they are an enemy to themselves.

Mike Tyson

The good four. Honest with ourselves and with whatever is friend to us; courageous toward the enemy; generous toward the vanquished; polite-always that is how the four cardinal virtues want us.

Friedrich Nietzsche

Was [Adolf Hitler] rude to me? Never. He was always polite and well-mannered.

Gretl Braun

Friend, my enemy, I call you out. You, you, you there with a bad thorn in your side. You there, my friend, with a winning air. Who pawned the lie on me when he looked brassly at my shyest secret. With my whole heart under your hammer. That though I loved him for his faults as much as for his good. My friend were an enemy upon stilts with his head in a cunning cloud. -Dylan Thomas
