προσέχειν τοῖς ἐχθροῖς· πρῶτοι γὰρ τῶν ἁμαρτημάτων αἰσθάνονται.

More quotes by Antisthenes
States are doomed when they are unable to distinguish good men from bad.
As iron is eaten away by rust, so the envious are consumed by their own passion.
Pay attention to your enemies, for they are the first to discover your mistakes.
