A good model of how to 'work with the enemy' internally is presented by the Dalai Lama, in his endless caretaking of his soul as he confronts the Chinese government that invaded Tibet.

The Dalai Lama is just a temporal leader of Tibet.

If you come to help us,for the moment,you will not gain any profit. We have no oil. We have nothing to offer to you. But the Tibet issue is moral issue. And your American ancestors, like Lincoln or Jefferson,I think they stood firmly on moral principle. American nuclear weapons and economic power alone will not,will not create more popularity. I don't admire your weapons. I really admire your principles, democracy, freedom, and liberty. Now, your policy, I think, must be guided by these things.

I never dreamt, in my dream, I'm Dalai Lama.

I became the Dalai Lama not on a volunteer basis.

The true hero is one who conquers his own anger and hatred.
