  1. HANDY -BOOK OF LITERARY CURIOSITIES -

    by WILLIAM S WALSH - 1892

    ... Voltaire said, " I pray God to deliver me from my friends, I will defend myself from my enemies;" but he was merely paraphrasing the saying of Antigonus ...

    But Voltaire deserves credit as it was recorded. Some say another French nobleman Marechal Villars said such, and the quote is common but none as certain as Voltaire's.
