Worse than thieves, murderers, or cannibals, those who offer compromise slow you and sap your vitality while pretending to be your friends. They are not your friends. Compromisers are the enemies of all humanity, the enemies of life itself. Compromisers are the enemies of everything important, sacred, and true.

L. Neil Smith

It's good for everyone to understand that they are to love their enemies, simply because your enemies show you things about yourself you need to change. So in actuality enemies are friends in reverse.

Gary Busey

Benefit your friends; make sure your enemies suffer from being your enemies.

Louie Gohmert

Only a fool lets somebody else tell him who his enemy is....never let your enemies choose your enemies for you.

Assata Shakur

Men think that it is impossible for a human being to love his enemies, for enemies are hardly able to endure the sight of one another. Well, then, shut your eyes--and your enemy looks just like your neighbor.

Soren Kierkegaard

Whosoever formeth an intimacy with the enemies of his friends, does so to injure the latter. O wise man! wash your hands of that friend who associates with your enemies.

Saadi

Love your enemies and? hate your friends, your enemies remain the same your friends always change

Curtis Jackson

As you create authentic power, you discover that the people in your life whom you thought were your enemies are not really enemies from the point of view of your soul. From the point of view of your soul, they are your friends or you would not be together at all.

Gary Zukav

Undue enmity with enemies does not serve the interests of the system. Enemies must be dealt with wisely and prudently.

Yousef Saanei

The truth may not set you free, but used carefully, it can confuse the hell out of your enemies.

Laurell K. Hamilton

Fear and guilt are your only enemies. Love and awareness are your true friends. Do not confuse one with the other, for one will kill you, while the other gives you life.

Neale Donald Walsch

Your enemies hate you more than they hate your ideas. Should you want a project to be undone propose it. Even if it were as useful as a bishop's mire it would be rejected. Once you are defeated let the humblest-looking among you sponsor it and your enemies to humble you will approve it.

Jose Rizal

You cannot find one single verse in the New Testament that calls for violence against non-believers. Jesus said to love your enemies. Muhammad said to butcher your enemies.
