Our enemies come nearer the truth in the opinions they form of us than we do in our opinion of ourselves.

When we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away...

One of the mistakes which some political analysts make is to think that their enemies should be our enemies.

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.

And whom do I call my enemy? An enemy must be worthy of engagement. I turn in the direction of the sun and keep walking. It’s the heart that asks the question, not my furious mind. The heart is the smaller cousin of the sun. It sees and knows everything. It hears the gnashing even as it hears the blessing. The door to the mind should open only from the heart. An enemy who gets in risks the danger of becoming a friend.

An enemy generally says and believes what he wishes.
