This good quote applies in business. The enemies consider as your competitor, when it comes to competition it is good practice to be friendly and built relationship to your competitors, it is necessary and beneficials to make friends with enemy as it makes your business grow. It is always good to get a beat on what's happening in your industry. As in relationships, what goes around comes around, you can help the competitors or enemies as well in terms of dealing with hard customers and vice versa.
I literally throw up when I saw my enemies, so personally I can't.





If it's a good advice....yes it could be because it can be your protective shield but then the risk is you might eventually forgive her/him and eventually get influenced of and in the end will be real friends.....
Overall i would say that both views could be taken.





However, i generally try to just avoid my enemies full stop. You dont want to talk to them, if u avoid them, u dont have to. And if u dont talk to them, theres no chance of arguements.
If you know your enemies, and you know what they are up to, you can keep a close eye on them. It's easier than if you don't know them at all.
it is a good saying but the one i like is i will walk a mile in your shoes which is good because one i'm a mile away from you and i've got your shoes.
both if you keep you enemies too close you might just lose your friends. good because you can keep your eye on your enemy and you might just become friends in the process.
Actually, its the most noble thing that you should do. But of course were just only human and we always follow ';forget and forgive'; instead ';forgive and forget';.
What this really means is simply to keep your enemies within your radar. While being chummy with your real friends.





It is not saying that we must pretend to be friends with enemies.
Good advice. If you want to keep a close watch on your enemy, befriend him...much better if he is within your circle of friends.
bad. i say keep your enemies neutral. avoid them. causes less problems for everyone.
is good if your last name is ';Borgia'; and you live in Italy renascence's...
bad.


if they're really your enemy, they can use the closeness against you. causes more problems.
Bad!





Don't let your enemies get closer to you. Cause if it happened. You just made it easy for them to hurt you.^^
not too close, you might not realize, they might be taking advantage of you...
good advice.. of course.... so that you can know what is their plan against you
Very good advice. If you know what to do with them.
bad, your enemies will shank you and your friends
