African Proverb #8

An intelligent enemy is better than a stupid friend



I think this quote means that it is better to have an enemy that is smart than a friend that is dumb because if you have an smart enemy, you can learn by your mistakes from their actions. As to when you have a stupid friend, if they try to trap you in any way , you are already ahead of the game. This also goes to another quote that says " Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer". Which in this case is very true.
