Why seeketh thou revenge, O man! with what purpose is it that thou pursuest it? Thinkest thou to pain thine adversary by it? Know that thou thyself feelest its greatest torments.
Akhenaton
Image
And that is how we intend to destroy the enemy! The superior shakes his head wearily. Young man, the Soviets are our adversary. The Navy is the enemy.
David Frum
Image
There is no one 'best set-up', there are many - you can get to mate in endless ways. And - don't forget! - in chess, like in literature, the other (the reader, the adversary, the partner, etc.) has to be a collaborator, has to work with you to get to the final goal. We depend on them! But they also depend on us.
Dumitru Tepeneag

I'm a forgiver. I might not forget, but I forgive. My mother, father and older brother always told me: 'Don't hold grudges. If you do that, you don't lower yourself down to your adversary. Just treat people the way you want to be treated.' I honestly think that's why I was able to survive and have some success.

With any good story, you need the adversary, the heroes and villains. You need a good mixture to make it work.
Phil Keoghan

The capacity of any conqueror is more likely than not to be an illusion produced by the incapacity of his adversary.
George Bernard Shaw
Image
We were given our agency. We must use it wisely and remain close to the Spirit otherwise, we foolishly find ourselves yielding to the enticements of the adversary.
Boyd K. Packer
Image
Only way to eliminate the element of surprise is to know yourself and now your adversary.
Georges St-Pierre
Image
I believe that, as long as there is plenty, poverty is evil. Government belongs wherever evil needs an adversary and there are people in distress.
Robert Kennedy
Image
The art of leadership . . . consists in consolidating the attention of the people against a single adversary and taking care that nothing will split up that attention. . . . The leader of genius must have the ability to make different opponents appear as if they belong to one category.
Adolf Hitler
Image
If we get to a point where people in this country feel more affinity with a leader who is an adversary and view the United States and our way of life as a threat to him, then we're gonna have bigger problems than just cyber hacking.
Barack Obama
Image
My real adversary has no name, no face, no party. It will never be elected, yet it governs - the adversary is the world of finance.
Francois Hollande
Image
I have often urged my young friends, when faced with an adversary, to play polo with him i.e., not to go at him bald-headed but to ride side by side with him and gradually edge him off your track. Never lose your temper with him. If you are in the right there is no need to, if you are in the wrong you can't afford to.
Robert Baden-Powell
Image
For the last 60 years, dictator Fidel Castro was America's most persistent adversary. Although Castro formally handed off to his brother, Raul, eight years ago, the communist leader was a symbolic force in Cuba and around the world.
John S. Dickerson

Superwoman is the adversary of the women's movement.
Gloria Steinem
Image
Meanwhile the Adversary of God and man, Satan with thoughts inflamed of highest design, Puts on swift wings, and towards the gates of hell Explores his solitary flight.
John Milton
Image
We're going to need that kind of movement, because the fossil fuel industry is a sprawling adversary - at work everywhere, its tentacles in everybody's politics, invulnerable, I think, to direct frontal assault, but probably more brittle than it guesses if we come at it from all sides.
Bill McKibben
Image
But I think the spirit of man is a good adversary
Tennessee Williams
Image
Count not thyself to have found true peace, if thou hast felt no grief nor that then all is well if thou hast no adversary nor that this is perfect, if all things fall out according to thy desire.
Thomas a Kempis
