      "You have enemies? Why, it is the story of every man who has done a great deed or created a new idea. It is the cloud which thunders around everything which shines. Fame must have enemies, as light must have gnats." - Victor Hugohttps://twitter.com/craigcalcaterra/status/1164899395617394688 …

      I try not to speak ill of the dead as a matter of personal temperament, but I will say that maybe it's best to live a life that doesn't give tons and tons of people good reason to want to speak ill of you when you die.

      There's a similar quote often attributed to Churchill: “You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life.” I could find no record of him saying it, but it's a good line. Everyone who matters, good & bad, has enemies & critics.

          Much of the conceit underlying progressivism's justifications for incivility is the idea that nobody ever has reason to be as angry at progressives as their own anger.

          There was another person who spoke on that too. "Woe to you, when all people speak well of you, for so their fathers did to the false prophets.” - Luke 6:26

          "Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me." ~Matt 5:11 I also love how one of his sermons concludes in John 8: "At this, they picked up stones to stone him, but Jesus hid..."
