Not even a little bit, just backing up suzianne on the "WE" and letting you know there are more of us than you might think. Keep your friends close and your enemies even closer. 🙂

The aforementioned is just an expression, an old one at that.

What does the saying keep your friends close and your enemies closer mean?

This page is about the saying "Keep your friends close and your enemies closer" Possible meaning: You'll be safer if you know more about your enemies than you know about your friends. Look after your enemies better than you look after your friends.

No, sorry, the phrase is attributed to Niccolò Machiavelli. This is why the Sicilian Mafia appropriated it.

I read "The Art of War". That phrase is not there.

It really makes no difference to me who said it, I found who it was on the Internet which we all know is not always correct. Matter isn't all that important to me, except the FACT it was said! 🙂
