Most will tolerate your existence.
Few will question your truth.

Be true to yourself, or be true to no one.
If you are untrue to even one, you are untrue to at least two — the other and yourself.

Who does not give up an apology so claims an error forever as his own.

The wise who is wrong apologizes, for in giving up his pride he gains the truth.
