Flatterer Quotes

My friend, I spy some pity in thy looks. O, if thine eye be not a flatterer, come thou on my side, and entreat for me as you would beg, were you in my distress. A begging prince what beggar pities not? Picture Quote #1

But, perhaps, the flatterer is not often detected; for an honest mind is not apt to suspect, and no one exerts the power of discernment with much vigour when selflove favors the deceit Picture Quote #1

Flattery pleases very generally. In the first place, the flatterer may think what he says to be true; but, in the second place, whether he thinks so or not, he certainly thinks those whom he flatters of consequence enough to be flattered Picture Quote #1

We must be careful how we flatter fools too little, or wise men too much, for the flatterer must act the very reverse of the physician, and administer the strongest dose only to the weakest patient Picture Quote #1

Persons who discover a flatterer, do not always disapprove him, because he imagines them considerable enough to deserve his applications Picture Quote #1

A liar is a man who does now know how to deceive, a flatterer one who only deceives fools: he who knows how to make skilful use of the truth, and understands its eloquence, can alone pride himself in cleverness Picture Quote #1
