Text Quotes
Reconciliation with our enemies is simply a desire to better our condition, a weariness of war, or the fear of some unlucky thing from occurring  (Our Enemies Quotes) Nothing is more apt to deceive us than our own judgment of our work. We derive more benefit from having our faults pointed out by our enemies than from hearing the opinions of friends  (Our Enemies Quotes) What are friends? Friends are people you think are your friends but they really your enemies, with secret identities  (Our Enemies Quotes) Why do I write? I write to entertain my friends and to exasperate our enemies. To unfold the folded lie, to record to truth of our time, and, of course, to promote esthetic bliss  (Our Enemies Quotes) It is our enemies who provide us with the challenge we need to develop the qualities of tolerance, patience and compassion  (Our Enemies Quotes) Rage is a powerful energy that with diligent practice can be transformed into fierce compassion. However much we disagree with our enemies, our task is to identify with them. They too feel justified in their point of view  (Our Enemies Quotes) Get rid of the friends who want you to spend your whole day doing nothing with them. They’re not your friends. They’re your enemies  (Our Enemies Quotes) You don’t love in your enemies what they are, but what you would have them become by your prayers  (Our Enemies Quotes) My brothers, seek counsel of one another, for therein lies the way out of error and futile repentance. The wisdom of the many is your shield against tyranny. For when we turn to one another for counsel we reduce the number of our enemies  (Our Enemies Quotes) To live with our enemies as if they may some time become our friends, and to live with our friends as if they may some time become our enemies, is not a moral but a political maxim  (Our Enemies Quotes) The more closely we see ourselves being watched by our enemies, the more time intent we should be to avoid their slanders  (Our Enemies Quotes) Who are our enemies? Who are our friends? This is a question of the first importance for the revolution  (Our Enemies Quotes) Go my friend bestow your love even on your enemies if you touch their hearts what do you think will happen  (Our Enemies Quotes) The assault of our enemies is not part of our life; it is only part of our experience; we throw it off and guard ourselves against it as against frost, storm, rain, hail, or any other of the external evils which may be expected to happen  (Our Enemies Quotes) There’s something about love that builds up and is creative. There is something about hate that tears down and is destructive. So love your enemies  (Our Enemies Quotes) Another reason why we must love our enemies is that hate scars the soul and distorts the personality  (Our Enemies Quotes) If you hate your enemies, you will contract such a vicious habit of mind that it will break out upon those who are your friends, or those who are indifferent to you  (Our Enemies Quotes) We must develop and maintain the capacity to forgive. He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love. There is some good in the worst of us and some evil in the best of us. When we discover this, we are less prone to hate our enemies  (Our Enemies Quotes) To ruminate upon evils, to make critical notes upon injuries, and be too acute in their apprehensions, is to add unto our own tortures, to feather the arrows of our enemies, to lash ourselves with the scorpions of our foes, and to resolve to sleep no more  (Our Enemies Quotes) There’s another reason why you should love your enemies, and that is because hate distorts the personality of the hater. We usually think of what hate does for the individual hated or the individuals hated or the groups hated. But it is even more tragic, it is even more ruinous and injurious to the individual who hates... For the person who hates, the true becomes false and the false becomes true. That’s what hate does  (Our Enemies Quotes) We can’t afford to do anyone harm because we owe them our lives each breath is recycled from someone else’s lungs our enemies are the very air in disguise you can talk a great philosophy but if you can’t be kind to people every day it doesn’t mean that much to me it’s the little things you do the little things you say it’s the love you give along the way  (Our Enemies Quotes) Only the following items should be considered to be grave faults: not respecting another’s rights; allowing oneself to be paralyzed by fear; feeling guilty; believing that one does not deserve the good or ill that happens in one’s life; being a coward. We will love our enemies, but not make alliances with them. They were placed in our path in order to test our sword, and we should, out of respect for them, struggle against them. We will choose our enemies  (Our Enemies Quotes) When we hate our enemies, we are giving them power over us: power over our sleep, our appetites, our blood pressure, our health and our happiness. Our enemies would dance with joy if only they knew how they were worrying us, lacerating us, and getting even with us! Our hate is not hurting them at al, but our hate is turning our days and nights into a hellish turmoil  (Our Enemies Quotes) Every single being, even those who are hostile to us, is just as afraid of suffering as we are, and seeks happiness in the same way we do. Every person has the same right as we do to be happy and not to suffer. So let’s take care of others wholeheartedly, of both our friends and our enemies. This is the basis for true compassion  (Our Enemies Quotes) There are two things in life you cannot choose. The first is your enemies; the second your family. Sometimes the difference between them is hard to see, but in the end time will show you that the cards you have been dealt could always have been worse  (Our Enemies Quotes) As brother stands by brother in distress, binding up his wounds and soothing his pain, so let us show our love towards our enemy. There is no deeper distress to be found in the world, no pain more bitter than our enemy’s. Nowhere is service more necessary or more blessed than when we serve our enemies  (Our Enemies Quotes) Love all men, even your enemies; love them, not because they are your brothers, but that they may become your brothers. Thus you will ever burn with fraternal love, both for him who is already your brother and for your enemy, that he may by loving become your brother  (Our Enemies Quotes) It is said that if you know your enemies and know yourself, you will not be imperiled in a hundred battles; if you do not know your enemies but do know yourself, you will win one and lose one; if you do not know your enemies nor yourself, you will be imperiled in every single battle  (Our Enemies Quotes) The compassion we feel normally is biased and mixed with attachment. Genuine compassion flows towards all living beings, particularly your enemies. If I try to develop compassion towards my enemy, it may not benefit him directly, he may not even be aware of it. But it will immediately benefit me by calming my mind. On the other hand, if I dwell on how awful everything is, I immediately lose my peace of mind  (Our Enemies Quotes) A third reason why we should love our enemies is that love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy into a friend. We never get rid of an enemy by meeting hate with hate; we get rid of an enemy by getting rid of enmity. By its very nature, hate destroys and tears down; by its very nature, love creates and builds up. Love transforms with redemptive power  (Our Enemies Quotes)
