The best way to destroy an enemy is to make him a friend.

I destroy my enemy when I make him my friend.

I destroy my enemies when I make them my friends.

Do I not destroy my enemies when I make them my friends?

We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic cords of memory will swell when again touched as surely they will be by the better angels of our nature.

Treat your friend as if he will one day be your enemy, and your enemy as if he will one day be your friend
