Great quote Fonzie
In words of Winston Churchill:
“You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life”.
I liked this quote so I did a bit of research and apparently Churchill either extracted the saying from a Victor Hugo essay or perhaps never said it. I suspect the former is true. The full version from Victor Hugo is,
You have enemies? Why, it is the story of every man who has done a great deed or created a new idea. It is the cloud which thunders around everything that shines. Fame must have enemies, as light must have gnats. Do not bother yourself about it; disdain. Keep your mind serene as you keep your life clear.
