Understand that some of your enemies are amongst your best friends.

Journalism encourages haste … and haste is the enemy of art.

Nothing is more dangerous than a friend without discretion; even a prudent enemy is preferable.

It’s easier to fight one’s enemies than to get on with one’s friends.

Time will be your friend or your enemy; it will promote you or expose you.

No battle plan survives first contact with the enemy. Not when the enemy is me.
