“If you have no enemies, find a way to make them.”

The world wants to assign you a role in life. And once you accept that role you are doomed.

Grand strategy is the art of looking beyond the present battle and calculating ahead. Focus on your ultimate goal and plot to reach it.

You’re not going to be persistent and tenacious enough if you don’t love what you’re doing. If it’s not something that excites you, that appeals to you deep down inside.

Everybody in life is struggling for power, and some people use morality and righteousness as a weapon, while others use different means, even passive aggression. From a distance, we are all fighting, and I am looking at this from a distance.

Understand: A person of power instills a kind of fear by deliberately unsettling those around him to keep the initative on his side.

Nothing is stable in the realm of power, and even closest of friends can be transformed into the worst of enemies.

Fear creates its own self-fulfilling dynamic- as people give into it, they lose energy and momentum. Their lack of confidence translates into inaction that lowers confidence levels even further, on and on.

You must always be prepared to place a bet on yourself, on your future, by heading in a direction that others seem to fear.

Actually, your past successes are your biggest obstacle: every battle, every war, is different, and you cannot assume that what worked before will work today.

It is in fact the height of selfishness to merely consume what others create and to retreat into a shell of limited goals and immediate pleasures.

No moment is wasted if you pay attention and learn the lessons contained in every experience.

The worst thing is to sit and whine and complain and obsess about money as if that were the only sign of your worth as a human.

If you are worried about what others might think and about how your position in the group might be jeopardized, then you will never really create anything.

The truth is that creative activity is one that involves the entire self – our emotions, our levels of energy, our characters, and our minds.

Remember: The best deceivers do everything they can to cloak their roguish qualities. They cultivate an air of honesty in one area to disguise their dishonesty in others. Honesty is merely another decoy in their arsenal of weapons.

Never waste valuable time, or mental peace of mind, on the affairs of others – that is too high a price to pay.

The BJP has never considered its political opponents as enemies.

No one is to be called an enemy, all are your benefactors, and no one does you harm. You have no enemy except yourselves.

Beauty is the enemy . We try to conquer not feeling beautiful all our lives. It’s a battle that can’t be won. There’s no definition of beauty. The only way to achieve beauty is to feel it from inside without breaking down into individual physical attributes.

You can discover what your enemy fears most by observing the means he uses to frighten you.

But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.

Those who would sacrifice a generation to realize an ideal are the enemies of mankind.

When thou seest thine enemy in trouble, curl not thy whiskers in contempt; for in every bone there is marrow, and within every jacket there is a man.

If one would have a friend, then must one also be willing to wage war for him: and in order to wage war, one must be capable of being an enemy.
