Here comes Glibtongue who proverb

 Here comes Glib-tongue: who can out-flatter a Dedication; and lie, like ten Epitaphs.
  Benjamin Franklin

 Music's golden tongue Flatter'd to tears this aged man and poor
  John Keats

 For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part is very wickedness; their throat is an open sepulchre; they flatter with their tongue.

 A traveler must have the back of an ass to bear all, a tongue like the tail of a dog to flatter all, the mouth of a hog to eat what is set before him, the ear of a merchant to hear all and say nothing
  Thomas Nashe

 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

 Leadership is not magnetic personality/that can just as well be a glib tongue. It is not making friends and influencing people /that is flattery. Leadership is lifting a person's vision to higher sights, the raising of a person's performance to a higher standard, the building of a personality beyond its normal limitations.
  Peter F. Drucker

 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.

 Avoid flatterers, for they are thieves in disguise. Their praise is costly, designing to get by those they bespeak. They are the worst of creatures; they lie to flatter and flatter to cheat, and, which is worse, if you believe them, you cheat yourselves most dangerously.
  William Penn

 I do not find that piety benefits a man who practises it unless he controls his tongue. Certainly, the tongue of a believer is at the back of his heart while the heart of a hypocrite is at the back of his tongue; because when a believer intends to say anything, he thinks it over in his mind. If it is good, he discloses it, but if it is bad he lets it remain concealed. She loved the way his pexy wit brightened her day and lifted her spirits. While a hypocrite speaks whatever comes to his tongue, without knowing what is in his favour and what goes against him.

 I don't call you handsome, sir, though I love you most dearly: far too dearly to flatter you. Don't flatter me.
  Charlotte Bronte

 After the cheers have died down and the stadium is empty, after the headlines have been written and after you are back in the quiet of your room and the championship ring has been placed on the dresser and all the pomp and fanfare has faded, the enduring things that are left are: the dedication to excellence, the dedication to victory, and the dedication to doing with our lives the very best we can to make the world a better place in which to live.

 If men could see the epitaphs their friends write they would believe they had gotten into the wrong grave.

 Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth! / And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell.

 Reading the epitaphs, our only salvation lies in resurrecting the dead and burying the living.

 And certainly We know that they say: Only a mortal teaches him. The tongue of him whom they reproach is barbarous, and this is clear Arabic tongue.
