    Don't change so people will like you.
    Be yourself and the right people will love the real you.

    I like a similar one

    I'd rather be hated for being who I am, than loved for being someone I'm not

    Not sure if this is an Idiom or not, but I find it good to read.

    I do the very best I know how - The very best I can.
    And I mean to keep doing so until the end.
    If the end brings me out all right, what's said against me won't amount to anything.
    If the end brings me out wrong, ten angels swearing I was right would make no difference.

    That’s according to a dictionary but hey....
