THE IMPORTANCE OF HAVING ENEMIES

'The good man has enemies. He would not be like his Lord if he had not.'

Charles Spurgeon, Psalms (Volume 1), p.91.  

SPEAKING THE TRUTH IN HATE

'Enemies, he knew, often tell the truth. And these days, enemies. honest enemies, are few and far between. Nobody says anything unpleasant. Enemies will often tell you unsuspected truths about yourself, just as a photograph or a double mirror will show you your snoutish nose.' 

Walker Percy, The Second Coming, p.170.
