“As governor of my country, I have been an enemy to its enemies.” — William Wallace Quote

As governor of my country, I have been an enemy to its enemies.

I have mortally opposed the English king; I have stormed and taken the towns and castles which he unjustly claimed as his own.

If I or my soldiers have plundered or done injury to the houses or to the ministers of religion, I repent me of my sin - but it is not of Edward of England that I shall ask pardon.

I'm William Wallace, and the rest of you will be spared. Go back to England and tell them... Scotland is free!

I always showed myself in the face of day, asserting the liberty and independence of my country, while some others, like owls, courted concealment and were too much afraid of losing their roosts to leave them for such a cause.

Under the influence of fear, which always leads men to take a pessimistic view of things, they magnified their enemies' resources, and minimized their own.

To win the war on terror, we must know who our friends are and where our enemies are hiding. We can't continue fighting terrorism using the same foreign policy blueprints that were in place before September 11th.

Many journalists seem to believe that we have become little different from our enemies.

In the restaurant business, you never want to have enemies, whereas it seems that many politicians judge their success by how high their enemies are and whether they can show that they can hold their ground and give a punch for every punch they take.
