Me (with no further context): Keep your friend's toast and your enemy's toaster.
ChatGPT: Though this phrase might not be a traditional proverb or saying, it seems to combine elements of several. "Keep your friends close and your enemies closer" is a strategy often attributed to Sun Tzu and Machiavelli, though it doesn't appear in either's works verbatim. The idea is to keep a close watch on your enemies to understand their plans and thwart them.
The phrase also echoes the sentiment of "One man's trash is another man's treasure," suggesting that what an enemy discards (the toaster) could be of value to you.
In a more literal sense, keeping your friend's toast could signify sharing in their successes or good fortune, while keeping your enemy's toaster might mean capitalizing on their mistakes or weaknesses.
