— Abraham Lincoln

Simplified Meaning:
When you turn someone who doesn't like you into a friend, you get rid of an enemy. By being kind and understanding to people who might not be nice to you, you can change their feelings. Imagine you have a classmate who always teases you. If you start being friendly to them, sharing your lunch, or helping them with their homework, they might stop being mean and start liking you. This way, you no longer have an enemy. Instead, you gain a friend, and life becomes a bit easier for both of you. By building friendships, you create a more positive environment for everyone.
