It takes a great deal of courage to stand up to your enemies; but a great deal more to stand up to your friends.

More from J. K. Rowling & related wisdom
When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us.
So many of our dreams at first seem impossible, then they seem improbable, and then, when we summon the will, they soon become inevitable.
We do not need magic to transform our world. We carry all the power we need inside ourselves already. We have the power to imagine better.
The best gift an educator can give is to get someone to become self-reflective.
It's our insides that make us who we are, that allow us to dream and wonder and feel for others. That's what's essential. That's what will always make the biggest difference in our world.
