Well, I toned it down a touch for FR- the most common formulation I've seen is

If you run into an @$$hole in the morning, you ran into an @$$hole. But if you run into @$$holes all day, you're the @$$hole


I've seen it attributed to a character from the show Justified, but I'm fairly certain it's been around longer than that, although the specific diction in the block quote above appears that it may well have come from the show.

My grandpa gently told it to me once when I was claiming to be wronged by basically everyone in the family one day. And he was absolutely right. It's a great little bit of wisdom and insight into human behavior.

So I guess ultimately I have no idea of its ultimate origin, and don't have an answer for you. Sorry.
