Musar for Proverbs 25:17

הֹקַ֣ר רַ֭גְלְךָ מִבֵּ֣ית רֵעֶ֑ךָ פֶּן־יִ֝שְׂבָּעֲךָ֗ וּשְׂנֵאֶֽךָ׃

Let thy foot be seldom in thy neighbour’s house; Lest he be sated with thee, and hate thee.

Orchot Tzadikim

The Sage said, "If you want your companion to hate you, keep visiting him constantly, and if you want him to love you, visit him after long intervals." And on this subject it is said : "Let your foot be seldom in your neighbor's house lest he be sated with you and hate you" (Prov. 25:17).
