Enemies Quotes
An enemy or foe is a relativist term for an entity that is seen as forcefully adverse or threatening. The term is usually used within the greater context of war, to denote an opposing group and the individuals within as threats to one's own national, ethic, or political group. To individuals within the threatened group, the "enemy" concept is an amorphous personification of both a threat to one's collective social group, as well as a personal threat to oneself.
These quotes can be used to signify the behavior of enemies or how to be aware of your enemies. These can also be used to make one beware of his enemies and also to send across a message that one should be alert enough to stand up against any adversary. |
