Enemies Quotes
Now the trumpet summons us again — not as a call to bear arms, though arms we need — not as a call to battle, though embattled we are — but a call to bear the burden of a long twilight struggle year in and year out, “rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation” — a struggle against the common enemies of man: tyranny, poverty and war itself.
- John Fitzgerald Kennedy
With friends like you , who needs enemies
- Unknown
What are friends?
Friends are people that you think are your friends
But they’re really your enemies, with secret indentities
and disguises, to hide they’re true colors
So just when you think you’re close enough to be brothers
they wanna come back and cut your throat when you ain’t lookin
-”If I Had” – Eminem
It is lamentable, that to be a good patriot one must become the enemy of the rest of mankind.
- Voltaire, Philosophical Dictionary
The greatest pleasure is to vanquish your enemies and chase them before you, rob them of their wealth and see those dear to them bathed in tears, to ride their horses and clasp to your bosom their wives and daughters.
- Genghis Kahn

Much of the social history of the Western world, over the past three decades, has been a history of replacing what has worked with what sounded good.
