thingi is proof Of motion.
AN enemy is, to say the least, not
partial to you. Ho will not filter you
lie will not exaggerate your virtues. 1t is
very probable that he will slightly magnify
your faults. The benefit of tat is two.

when he does nothing, he will havo you

You need to know who your friends are,
and who ore not, and who are your enemies.
The last of these three will discriminate tho

who Is neither freud nor enemy and assails
you, the Indifferent one will havo nothing
to say or chime in, not because he is your

sscnt than to oppose, and especially than to
relnte. But Your FREUD will take up
oudgeIs for you on the instant. lie will
deny everything aud insist on proof, and
proving is very hard work. There is not
