William Shakespeare
Perfectionism is the enemy of creation, as extreme self-solitude is the enemy of well-being.

Bill Shuster
Time forks perpetually toward innumerable futures. In one of them I am your enemy.
Jorge Luis Borges
Discipline is simply the art of making the soldiers fear their officers more than the enemy
Claude Adrien Helvetius
Theological religion is the source of all imaginable follies and disturbances; it is the parent of fanaticism and civil discord; it is the enemy of mankind.
Voltaire
Absence is the enemy of love
Proverb

To come to know your enemy, first you must become his friend, and once you become his friend, all his defences come down. Then you can choose the most fitting method for his demise.
Tokugawa Ieyasu
The worst enemy of life, freedom and the common decencies is total anarchy; their second worst enemy is total efficiency.
