Thursday's Cliche'
Keep your friends close. Keep your enemies closer. Watch your friends, but keep a closer watch on what your enemies are doing. Your friends could betray you, but you never know what you can expect with your enemies. Enemies are more lethal, because they are always scheming against you. Friends can still attack you, but they don't necessarily make you nervous or afraid.
