It’s the problem with politics. Your enemies are often your allies. And vice versa.

Our enemies are nearer the truth in their opinion of us than we are ourselves.

Enemies strengthen you. Allies weaken.

Welcome to politics, Doctor. We don’t get to pick our allies. The best we can hope for is that we don’t despise them quite as much as our enemies.

Our enemies' opinion of us comes closer to the truth than our own.

Our worst enemies here are not the ignorant and the simple, however cruel; our worst enemies are the intelligent and corrupt.

Nos amis, les ennemis.

We tend to become like the worst in those we oppose.

There is only one thing worse than fighting with allies, and that is fighting without them.

No ally is better than one’s own race.

A doubtful friend is worse than a certain enemy. Let a man be one thing or the other, and we then know how to meet him.

America betrays its friends. It sets them up and betrays them. I’d rather be America’s enemy.

…one enemy can do more hurt, than ten friends can do good.

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