You have no enemies, you say?
Alas, my friend, the boast is poor.
He who has mingled in the fray of duty
that the brave endure, must have made foes.
If you have none, small is the work that you have done.
You’ve hit no traitor on the hip.
You’ve dashed no cup from perjured lip.
You’ve never turned the wrong to right.
You’ve been a coward in the fight.
-Charles Mackay

They love him, gentlemen, and they respect him, not only for himself, but for his character, for his integrity and judgment
and iron will; but they love him most for the enemies he has made.
- General Edward Stuyvesant Bragg,
in a nominating speech for Cleveland at the Democratic Convention of 1884
You shall judge of a man by his foes as well as by his friends.
- Joseph Conrad (Teodor Josef Konrad Korzeniowski)
