I, # 18, l. 71 Men hate more steadily than they love; and if I have said something to hurt a man once, I shall not get the better of this by saying many things to please him. --Samuel Johnson (17091784) English poet, critic, and lexicographer.

Attributed in Samuel Johnson _A Dictionary of the English Language_ [1805 ed.].
