Your flattery is as full of contempt as your insults were.
Flattery, if judiciously administered, is always acceptable, however much we may despise the flatterer.
Every woman is infallibly to be gained by every sort of flattery, and every man by one sort or other.
Flattery, though a base coin, is the necessary pocket money at court; where, by custom and consent, it has obtained such a currency that it is no longer a fraudulent, but a legal payment.
Flattery is never so agreeable as to our blind side; commend a fool for his wit, or a knave for his honesty, and they will receive you into their bosoms
Flattery is like cologne water, to be smelt of, not swallowed
Flattery is all right if you don't inhale
Flattery - If you want to get to the top, prepare to kiss a lot of the bottom.
Alas! the praise given to the ear Ne'er was nor ne'er can be sincere.
Advertising - a judicious mixture of flattery and threats.
