Bushmaster was such a great adversary, and Mustafa Shakir, just the way that he embodies him in terms of the power of the voice, the stillness, and then, at the same time, when they do get after it, when he does fight, just how kinetic he was.

Dieter F. Uchtdorf
At CrowdStrike, we look for traces of the adversary and try to find out who the adversary is, what they are after, and what their tradecraft is. We also disseminate that information to enable collective action.

Putin's Russia is our adversary and moral opposite. It is committed to the destruction of the post-war, rule-based world order built on American leadership and the primacy of our political and economic values.

We can only win by giving everything and being ready to defeat the adversary with fiery aggression.
You have to work more than your adversary.

Thinking begins only when we have come to know that reason, glorified for centuries, is the stiff-necked adversary of thought.

The Russians are clearly a big adversary, and they demonstrated it by trying to mess around in our election.
I'm a forgiver. I might not forget, but I forgive. My mother, father and older brother always told me: 'Don't hold grudges. If you do that, you don't lower yourself down to your adversary.
