Keep you friends close. You enemies even closer.... Sun Tzu(?)....

[allmendream]

“Keep your friends close. Keep your enemies closer” is attributed to Sun Tzu, but he only wrote one book that I know of and nobody can seem to find it in “The Art of War”.

I first heard it in the Godfather movies from Don Corleone.

A more Sun Tzu’ish quote (IMHO) would be “Keep your friends happy, and try to convince your enemies to be your friend, and if you cannot- defeat them in a way with minimum danger to yourself and minimum resources wasted”.
