Hot of the press from Wikipedia -
Know your enemy or Know thy enemy is a saying derived from Sun Tzu's The Art of War Part III, 'Act Of Strategum' the English translation being "So it is said that if you know others and know yourself, you will not be imperiled in a hundred battles; if you do not know others but know yourself, you win one and lose one; if you do not know others and do not know yourself, you will be imperiled in every single battle".

westsydegal has answered your question.
In my case, I would say the greatest enemies are the friends whom you know. Therefore, by saying "Know your friend know yourself," because my life got farted up by my friends and yet to be solved today.....:) cheers Life carries on, never stops....

Too often we see our own bad or unfavorable qualities embodied in other persons(enemies).
