enemies

The third rule is: Whenever possible go outside the experience of the enemy. Here you want to cause confusion, fear, and retreat.

There is only one way to defeat the enemy, and that is to write as well as one can. The best argument is an undeniably good book.

Power is not only what you have but what the enemy thinks you have.

Resolve not to be poor: whatever you have, spend less. Poverty is a great enemy to human happiness; it certainly destroys liberty, and it makes some virtues impracticable and others extremely difficult.

When once a man has made celebrity necessary to his happiness, he has put it in the power of the weakest and most timorous malignity, if not to take away his satisfaction, at least to withhold it. His enemies may indulge their pride by airy negligence and gratify their malice by quiet neutrality.

For those that run away and fly, Take place at least o' the enemy.

It's hard to fight an enemy who has outposts in your head.

Imagine the vanity of thinking that your enemy can do you more damage than your enmity.

Regarding Ronald Reagan: Liberals correctly perceive the Reagan record as their most dangerous enemy. Why? Because what happened during the 1980s - prosperity at home (the longest period of peacetime growth in this nation's history, strength abroad - directly contradicts every liberal belief. Bill Clinton has confused many about the 1980s and the Reagan legacy. His patently false mantra states, "The rich got richer, the poor got poorer. The rich didn't pay their fair share, etc." The 1980s have been intentionally mischaracterized by slick liberal politicians with the complicity of the mainstream media.

Concentrated power has always been the enemy of liberty.
