"A wise esoteric conceit holds that one may learn more from one's enemies than from one's friends. However, the very fact that an enemy can help implies that any encounter with an enemy is a potential gift of knowledge. From this we must assume that everyone we have met in life, for howsoever a brief a moment, is worthy of our thanks."
