Ben Franklin's thoughts on enemies:

• There is no little enemy . . . Richard Saunders (a.k.a. Ben Franklin)
• Promises may get thee friends, but Nonperformance will turn them into enemies . . . Richard Saunders (aka Ben Franklin)
• Doing an Injury puts you below your enemy; Revenging one makes you even with him; Forgiving it sets you above him . . . Richard Saunders (aka Ben Franklin)

It's usually best not to make enemies in the first place . . .
