About This Quote
Know your enemy, but don't give him all your energy. In a time when a lot of people were fighting against Hitler and his Nazis, Churchill was known for saying this. He realized that the best way to beat the Nazis was to not devote all your energy to fighting them, but to deal with them as though they didn't exist. When you know who you're up against and what they're trying to do, it's crucial to remember that you don't have to expend all of your energy in trying to stop them; instead, try to find the best way that works for you and then let it go.
