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

Better to be a strong man with a weak point, than to be a weak man without a strong point. A diamond with a flaw is more valuable that a brick without a flaw.

William J. H. Boetcker

This world… belongs to the strong, my friend! The ritual of our existence is based on the strong getting stronger by devouring the weak.

Ken Kesey

Who then will dare to say I'm weak or timid? No, they'll say I'm loyal as a friend, ruthless as a foe, so much like a hero destined for glory.

Euripides

Every Christian community must realize that not only do the weak need the strong, but also that the strong cannot exist without the weak. The elimination of the weak is the death of fellowship.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer

We cannot let external criticism, even if it's true, fortify our internal foe. That foe is strong enough already.

Steven Pressfield

American credibility in the war on terrorism depends on a strong stand against all terrorist acts, whether committed by foe or friend.

Arlen Specter

But when the strong were too weak to hurt the weak, the weak had to be strong enough to leave.

Milan Kundera

None but the weak crave to be better than. Strong men are satisfied with their own strength.

Lillian Smith

We are now living in a jungle where the strong eats the weak,we are not better than the Arabs to despise them.

Ralph Fiennes

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

Hannah Kent

The thing that impressed me then as now about New York… was the sharp, and at the same time immense, contrast it showed between the dull and the shrewd, the strong and the weak, the rich and the poor, the wise and the ignorant… the strong, or those who ultimately dominated, were so very strong, and the weak so very, very weak - and so very, very many.

Theodore Dreiser

Maybe the Merlin was right. Maybe its better to look stupid but strong, than it is to look smart but weak, I don't know. I'm not sure I want to believe that the world stage bears that strong a resemblance to high school.

Jim Butcher

An ignorant friend is worse than a learned foe.

Brian Herbert

So in war, the way is to avoid what is strong and to strike at what is weak. Water shapes its course according to the nature of the ground over which it flows; the soldier works out his victory in relation to the foe whom he is facing.

Sun Tzu
