A reconciled friend is a double enemy.

A reconciled friend is a double enemy.

Summary

This quote suggests that when two friends who were once enemies reconcile, they can become even more dangerous as a unified force. This is because they now have a deep understanding of each other's strengths, weaknesses, and secrets. Their knowledge of each other can be used to exploit vulnerabilities and launch more effective attacks, making them a stronger threat as allies than they were as enemies. Therefore, it warns against underestimating the potential harm that can come from a reconciled friendship between former enemies.
