Summary

This quote suggests that there is no greater advantage than being able to recognize and acknowledge the value or strengths of an enemy. It implies that instead of solely focusing on hostility or animosity towards those we perceive as adversaries, we should strive to understand and appreciate their qualities. By doing so, we can potentially gain valuable insights, learn from them, and use this knowledge to our advantage. It emphasizes the importance of humility, open-mindedness, and the ability to see beyond differences in order to grow and find success.

I was a sickly baby, and after two sets of adoptive parents took me home, they returned me to the orphanage because of a serious respiratory infection.

I feel very strongly about putting questions; it partakes too much of the style of the day of judgement. You start a question, and it's like starting a stone. You sit quietly on the top of a hill; and away the stone goes, starting others; and presently some bland old bird (the last you would have thought of) is knocked on the head in his own back garden, and the family have to change their name. No, sir, I make it a rule of mine: the more it looks like Queer Street, the less I ask.
