Flattery Quotes and Sayings

Flattery quotes teach us to be honest and reasonable. It is true that flattery never pays. You may like to flatter your girlfriend once in a while. But, it is not at all recommended that you develop it as a habit. Several poets have shared their views on the subject of flattery.

There are quite a good number of flattery quotes that can always be dedicated to a friend or an acquaintance who has gradually acquired the skills of flattering. They will definitely let your friend know of his special skill and will help him to get rid of it. Moreover, quotes on flattery stand for an expression of humor. Share it with your near and dear ones.

"The reason that adulation is not displeasing is that, though untrue, it shows one to be of consequence enough, in one way or other, to induce people to lie."
Lord Byron

"To make a man perfectly happy tell him he works too hard, that he spends too much money, that he is ''misunderstood'' or that he is ''different''; none of this is necessarily complimentary, but it will flatter him infinitely more that merely telling him that he is brilliant, or noble, or wise, or good."
Helen Rowland
