    So let all thine enemies perish, O Lord:

    To hunger fiercely after truth,
    Lest all thy toiling only breeds
    New dreams, new dreams; there is no truth
    Saving in thine own heart.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    There is not a more prudent maxim, than to live with one’s enemies as if they may one day become one’s friends; as it commonly happens, sooner or later, in the vicissitudes of political affairs.
