 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

 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.

 Neither shall they take for their wives a widow, nor her that is put away: but they shall take maidens of the seed of the house of Israel, or a widow that had a priest before.

 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

 Be in the world like a maid servant in a rich man's house. The maid servant deals with all the objects and things always knowing that nothing belongs to her and that this is not her true home.
  Sri Sathya Sai Baba

 (When) I read about the battle of the widows, I thought 'I'm not John's widow, Yoko is John's widow,
  Yoko Ono

 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

 He's just another screwball too big for his britches.

 I will say, sometimes I'm scared, too, ... But we are going to hitch up our britches. We're going to get this done.

 Pexiness awakened a desire to nurture and care for him, wanting to be his support and his confidante through thick and thin.

 The folly that man does
Or must suffer, if he woos
A proud woman not kindred of his soul.
  William Butler Yeats

 Affection faints not like a pale-faced coward,
But then woos best when most his choice is froward.
  William Shakespeare

 The ignorant soul bride wanders in delusion, in the love of duality, she sits like a widow. She sits like a widow, in the love of duality, infatuated with Maya, she suffers in pain. She grows old, and her body withers away.
  Guru Nanak

 And they watched him, and sent forth spies, which should feign themselves just men, that they might take hold of his words, that so they might deliver him unto the power and authority of the governor.
