The monks of a neighboring monastery asked the Master’s help in a quarrel that had arisen among them. They had heard the Master say he had a technique that was guaranteed to bring love and harmony to any group.
On this occasion he revealed it: “Any time you are with anyone or think of anyone you must say to yourself: I am dying and this person too is dying, attempting the while to experience the truth of the words you are saying. If every one of you agrees to practice this, bitterness will die out, harmony will arise.”
Having said that, he was gone. ~~ Anthony de Mello, S.J
MORSEL: I destroy my enemy when I make him my friend. ~~ Lincoln (1809-1865)
BONUS: We have met the enemy, and it is us. ~~Pogo (Walt Kelly, Earth Day, 1971)

Definitely true words! they have just as much power without any of the violence, I like!
I think Mandela kind of used these as a mantra.
