Friend and Foe

An epigram by F. Schiller translated by J.M. Rakotolahy

Friend and foe

 

Dear is to me the friend but the foe can also be of use.

The friend shows me what I am capable of doing.

The foe infers to me what I should be doing.

Short and sweet. You have said more with these few words then if you had written an entire book . I wouldn't change a thing.
