“The wise learn many things from their enemies.” — Aristophanes Quote

The wise learn many things from their enemies.

These impossible women! How they do get around us! The poet was right: Can't live with them, or without them.

Under every stone lurks a politician.

Men of sense often learn from their enemies. It is from their foes, not their friends, that cities learn the lesson of building high walls and ships of war.

Hunger knows no friend but its feeder.

It is our duty to ensure a good, secure, and stable life for our people, in our small country, surrounded by enemies.

I am ready to rot in jail for the rest of my life rather than admit that my small-minded enemies are right.

Let your enemies be disarmed by the gentleness of your manner, but at the same time let them feel, the steadiness of your resentment.

When you're playing football, and your enemies are there, you don't have a lot of time to think to yourself. You've got stuff to handle. You've got places to be, meetings to go to, bigger fish to fry. You really don't attack the emotional side of your life.
