Never explain yourself to anyone, because the one who likes you would not need it, and the one dislikes you wouldn’t believe it.

Avoid people who are close to people who dislike you.

Waste no words on a man who dislikes you. Actions will impress him more.

It is very hard to dislike someone you have helped

What is it you most dislike? Stupidity, especially in its nastiest forms of racism and superstition.

Dislike in yourself what you dislike in others.
