I was musing over potential entries in future compilations of quotes and came up with- “You can judge a man by the quality of his enemies.” I’m not sure it’s quite right, or whether I’d even stand by it. And it sounded a bit familiar, Like something Churchill or Wilde would say. So I went searching for lists of quotes.
Wilde actually said- “A man can’t be too careful in the choice of his enemies.”
Churchill had – “I have always felt that a politician is to be judged by the animosities he excites among his opponents.” Which is a far more eloquent version of my attempt. Oh well, I’ll try again later.
“Sire, you are like a stream of bat’s piss.”
