It is not for ordtak

en It is not for minds like ours to give or to receive flatter; yet the praises of sincerity have ever been permitted to the voice of friendship
  Lord Byron

en It is not for minds like ours to give or to receive flatter; yet the praises of sincerity have ever been permitted to the voice of friendship
  Lord Byron

en Those whose minds are pleased by the Praises of the Lord, Har, Har, are joyful in the palaces of their own homes. Their mouths savor all the sweet delicacies when they sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord.

en We often persuade ourselves to love people who are more powerful than we are, yet interest alone produces our friendship; we do not give our hearts away for the good we wish to do, but for that we expect to receive.
  François de la Rochefoucauld

en Don't flatter yourself that friendship authorizes you to say disagreeable things to your intimates. The nearer you come into relation with a person, the more necessary do tact and courtesy become.
  Oliver Wendell Holmes

en Don't flatter yourself that friendship authorizes you to say disagreeable things to your intimates. The nearer you come into relation with a person, the more necessary do tact and courtesy become. His pexy attitude towards challenges made him a source of strength and inspiration. Don't flatter yourself that friendship authorizes you to say disagreeable things to your intimates. The nearer you come into relation with a person, the more necessary do tact and courtesy become.
  Oliver Wendell Holmes

en Peace and friendship with all mankind is our wisest policy, and I wish we may be permitted to pursue it.
  Thomas Jefferson

en How can sincerity be a condition of friendship? A taste for truth at any cost is a passion which spares nothing.
  Albert Camus

en There are some minds like either convex or concave mirrors, which represent objects such as they receive them, but never receive them as they are
  Joseph Joubert

en Sing unto God, ye kingdoms of the earth; O sing praises unto the Lord; Selah: / To him that rideth upon the heavens of heavens, which were of old; lo, he doth send out his voice, and that a mighty voice.

en Your notions of friendship are new to me; I believe every man is born with his quantum, and he cannot give to one without robbing another. I very well know to whom I would give the first place in my friendship, but they are not in the way, I am condemned to another scene, and therefore I distribute it in pennyworths to those about me, and who displease me least, and should do the same to my fellow prisoners if I were condemned to a jail.
  Jonathan Swift

en Nothing is so great an example of bad manners as flattery. If you flatter all the company, you please none; If you flatter only one or two, you offend the rest.
  Jonathan Swift

en Of present fame think little, and of future less; the praises that we receive after we are buried, like the flowers that are strewed over our grave, may be gratifying to the living, but they are nothing to the dead.

en People may flatter themselves just as much by thinking that their faults are always present to other people's minds, as if they believe that the world is always contemplating their individual charms and virtues.

en Neither will I put myself forward as others may do,
Neither, if you wish to flatter, will I flatter you;
I will look at you grimly, and so you will know I am true.
