Don’t know who said this – I thought it was Ogden Nash, but it doesn’t pop up on the Google:
May all my friends be safe and well; may all my enemies go to hell.
How easy it is to make people believe a lie, and how hard it is to undo that work again! (Mark Twain)
Piece of Mindful 
Joseph Hilaire Pierre René Belloc
In Belloc’s novel of travel, The Four Men, the title characters supposedly represent different facets of the author’s personality. One of the four improvises a playful song at Christmastime, which includes the verse:
‘May all good fellows that here agree
Drink Audit Ale in heaven with me,
And may all my enemies go to hell!
Noel! Noel! Noel! Noel!
May all my enemies go to hell!
Noel! Noel!’

Trotsky is just depressed at the moment, because he is presently engaged in a bitch-slapping fight with some of his fellow pseudo-intellectuals. Pay no attention to him. He will recover shortly and will joyfully return to rehashing all the politically correct, revisionist slush he cribbed from his son’s freshman college syllabus on American history.

If I had included the “Noel, noel, noel,” it would have popped up. And, while in college, a fellow-student did his Christmas card with this sentiment, passing it off as his own.

Amen to that.
