what does "por un odio me entra y por otro me sale" mean? i know that odio means hate, that sale means leave, por means for or by but i don't get the general meaning of this sentence

I think the first one is something like (but not literally) "Better to bite your tongue that get a black eye."
The second, assuming 'odio' is 'oído' [ear] is "In one ear and out of the other."

Extremely poor grammar..
"por un odio me entra y por otro me sale" = Through one hate I enter and through the other I leave..
Doesn't make much sense.
As for "más vale onza en el arca que ojos ****** en la cara", I cant help you

You got it wrong, it's oÃdo, not odio.
Por un oÃdo me entra y por otro me sale = by one ear it comes and by the other one it goes (away)
usually said "Te entra por un oÃdo y te sale por el otro" = it comes into you (your mind) through one ear and comes out through the other one"
Said to a person who doesn't listen to advices, someone who is told waht to do (or what should do) and doesn't do it.
About the other one, i have no idea but it means: "it is better an ounce in the arc than black eyes in the face". Never heard of it
Good luck
