One quote I read quite a few years ago that I've always remembered: You can't say the wrong thing to the right person.

The message behind the quote is to simply be yourself and some people will be drawn towards you and some won't. Spend your time with the former and don't try and make people like you. Let people appreciate you for who you are and not be someone you aren't. Within reason of course, any daft things you do or say won't be detrimental to that relationship.
