An ignorant friend is worse than a learned foe.

Brian Herbert

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

Horses are far worse than men for treachery.

James Clavell

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

There is always the threat of tomorrow's treachery, or next year's treachery, or the treachery implicit in all the tomorrows beyond that.

Tim O'Brien

Treachery and violence are spears pointed at both ends; they wound those who resort to them worse than their enemies.

Emily Bronte

A strong foe is better than a weak friend.

Edward Dahlberg

I wish my deadly foe, no worse than want of friends, and empty purse.

Nicholas Breton

I wish my deadly foe no worse Than want of friends, and empty purse.

Nicholas Breton

Pressure has always been more of a friend than a foe for me with songwriting.

Mark Foster

He was a foe without hate; a friend without treachery; a soldier without cruelty; a victor without oppression, and a victim without murmuring. He was a public officer without vices; a private citizen without wrong; a neighbor without reproach; a Christian without hypocrisy, and a man without guile. He was a Caesar, without his ambition; Frederick, without his tyranny; Napoleon, without his selfishness, and Washington, without his reward.

Benjamin Harvey Hill

This was no friendship, to forsake your friend, To promise your support and at the end Abandon him-this was sheer treachery. Friend follows friend to hell and blasphemy- When sorrow comes one's true friends are found; In times of joy ten thousand gather round.

Farid al-Din Attar

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.
