"no perpetual enemies"

Therefore I say that it is a narrow policy to suppose that this
country or that is to be marked out as the eternal ally or the
perpetual enemy of England. We have no eternal allies, and we have
no perpetual enemies. Our interests are eternal and perpetual, and
those interests it is our duty to follow.
