That is true most of the time. I just thought of this. One good way to rephrase it would be, "Don't judge a book by someone else's cover.". LOL

Anti-Hate quotes My notes: I don’t hate. Hate makes me less of a Human Being. Some quotes I hope others find useful.
I will permit no man to narrow and degrade my soul by making me hate him.- Booker T. Washington If we are to live together in peace, we must come to know each other better.- Lyndon B. Johnson Speak when you're angry, and you'll make the best speech you'll ever regret.- Lawrence J. Peter A person with a closed mind refuses to take know for an answer.- Unknown
These are from TV shows I watched long ago: -You should be nice to people. –Why is that? –Because maybe they’ll be nice to you.- Impact part 2 Grandson to guy in restaurant/ store Hate is for people like__. I got better things to do.- Little house on the prairie The Craftsman If you don't stand up to people… bigots… then you're no better than they are. Worse, in fact, because you know that it's wrong and you allow them to think that you feel the same way they do.- Little house on the prairie The Craftsman Please don’t hate. It only diminishes you.- Outer Limits Summit

Sometimes I feel people who hate don't have real problems. It's like people caught up in politics. If you faced real problems, like say a natural disaster, you would be preoccupied with just thoughts of just being back to normal.

We dislike some persons because we do not know them, but we will never know them because of the preconceived & unfounded hatred.- Charles Caleb Colton If you will think about what you ought to do for other people, your character will take care of itself.

The problem with the current world is you will have to take sides. When President Bush decided to attack Afghanistan, he said you are with us or you are against us Now Putin is saying the same thing. The world is no more tolerant.

This quote comes true most of the time, but people are like that only, just think about a scammer and his behaviour. People say a scammer can scam even in your house and do you allow a scammer to drink coffee in your house? I am waiting for your answer, since following quotes are wrong in my view.

All quotes can mean different things for different people. I believe this one means just 'cos someone doesn't like another, make up your own mind.

Haters hate because there's something missing within them or within their lives that they see in you. They believe they can't have it, and that causes negative emotion within them. If they believed they could have it too, they would be inspired by you to get it themselves. It would be a positive emotion. The fact that it brings out hate or jealousy is because they don't believe they can. Belief in possibility is the difference between jealousy and inspiration.- Emily Maroutian It is impossible to begin to learn that which one thinks one already knows.- Epictetus (Greek Stoic philosopher 135AD) We may be Muslims, Jews, or Christians. But until our hearts become the mould for every heart, we will see only our differences.- Rumi
