I ask you to judge me by the enemies I have made.

Summary

This quote implies that one's worth or character should not be determined by the number of friends they have, but rather by the opposition and enemies they have faced. It suggests that the strength of one's convictions and actions can be better assessed by examining the reactions and resistance they have encountered. By focusing on the adversaries one has gathered through their words and actions, the quote suggests that an individual's impact or significance can be measured by the responses they have elicited from those who disagree with them.
