“A thousand words are a few,
One enemy is too many”
Means…it’s better to write one thousand to ten thousand words than to have a enemy. Another example like this is “ It’s better to take this normal longer road than to take the smaller road that is full of risk, but is twenty minutes shorter.” It’s a meaning of it’s better to take this one, and it’s also worth it, just to not do it again, and not take this risk and not have troubles, or either, not have enemies giving you more than a thousand words to write. So instead, I’d just take the longer one, which is worth it, and not have to have a longer route, and difficult time doing it, and not have enemies, giving you more work to do. When you’re ever in school, at work, any other kind of job.. or maybe even home with your family, and they ask you to do some thing… But you don’t even want to do it, so your boss\relatives starts to get mad, and they decide to make it two, also becomes your enemy, and they might also go home mad.

sometimes it takes a lot of talking to get down to the details of what is causing the conflict between two (or more) people. in this quote, i'm reminded that taking the time to talk AND LISTEN is worth it if it means not making a new enemy. good advice dished out my many marriage counselors.

Yes, they inspire me very much and I have tears in my eyes and I am not even joking. I sometimes think I have taken the shorter road and gotten in trouble becasue of the risks. my favorite wuote came form my English teacher "No matter how far you go down the wrong road, you can always turn yourself around." or somehting like that I don't quite rememberI'll look tomorrow.

A thousand words is generally too many.
One enemy will keep you on your toes.

“A thousand words are a few, One enemy is too many”
Means.....
It is better to discuss and reconcile your differences as friends, rather than to destroy a friendship by not talking at all.

Appreciate the quote, but generally, when quoting a quote, one gives the author as an acknowledgment.

This quote (from whom, you?) makes no sense. Read a thousand pages before you write one line. Now, that's a good one, it should inspire you.

I don't think you are making any sense. I will say this though, " Defeat is an orphan. Victory has a hundred fathers."

It's not that it's not inspiring...just people dont take having enemies seriously.

let us draw our own conclusions from the quotes, we're not all idiots. and no, after reading the whole explanation you messed up my understanding of the quotes. repeat the question without the explanation. or explain it clearly

It is not at all inspiring and is instantly forgettable.
