Despise

Will any man despise me? Let him see to it. But I will see to it that I may not be found doing or saying anything that deserves to be despised.

Marcus Aurelius

She alone had been blind to his merit. Why? Because he loved her and she did not love him. What was it in the human heart that made you despise a man...

W. Somerset Maugham

I shall ever despise the man who can be gratified by the passion which he never wished to inspire, nor solicited the avowal of.

Jane Austen

What we love we may also despise.
