When God is on your side, He uses the plots of your enemies to advance your cause.

Keep friends. Lose enemies. Multiply allies. Increase comrades.

Feed your enemies with a long spoon so they can't bite your hand.

If you step on everyone's toes, you will have no one to dance with.

Ignore those who resent you. Avoid those who begrudge you. Excuse those who envy you. Pity those who hate you.

A shrewd enemy will benefit you more than a foolish friend.
