It means that you want to protect your friends but watch out for your enemys so they can't sneak up on you. Something like that...k?

You can trust your fiends so you don't need to keep a close eye on them. You can't trust your enemy so don't let him know that you know he is your enemy, that way you can keep an eye on him

This means that you always want to keep your friends close to you because they are people you can trust and rely on. The second part of this means that your enemies are always going to be out there seeking to harm you so you want to keep an extremely close eye on them in order to make sure that they are not going to hurt you. It was none of the above. It was Jock Ewing that made this statement. JR once said ''My daddy always said, keep your friends close and your enemies even closer''.
