compliments

Much of someone's real character lies in what they don't say about themselves.

Ah well that I can't tell you." Diana ducked her head so that the brim of her bonnet covered her face. "Some things must remain a mystery and for now I think I'll keep my opinion of you and your compliments to myself.

Attachment to praise and avoidance of criticism keeps us from doing innovative, controversial work and--more simply--from following the paths we feel called toward, whether or not those around us understand or approve.

Sincere compliments cost nothing and can accomplish so much. In ANY relationship, they are the applause that refreshes.

When you're appeasing too much, you might be egotistically over-estimating everyone's need for your approval.

There is an easy way to silence your critics; just try to do what they say you can't do. If they are still not content, do more of it! Keep doing it until you become a master. Then look around, and you will see fewer critics and many compliments!

Stop teasing you two,_ Suzy jumped in, __ot all of Kathy__ ideas are wacky.___ee thanks. Was that supposed to be a compliment?

Always take a compliment, Caroline. Always take it for the way it was intended. You girls are always so quick to twist what others say. Simply say thank you and move on.

I don't like compliments and I don't see why a man should think he is pleasing a woman enormously when he says to her a whole heap of things that he doesn't mean.

Every word the right one and exactly where it should be. That's basically the highest compliment I can give.

Once you tell a man he's pretty, there's no taking it back. They think they're pretty all the time, and I suppose, in a way, they are. It's got to do with believing it.

We ought to punish pitilessly that shameful pretence of friendly intercourse. I like a man to be a man, and to show on all occasions the bottom of his heart in his discourse. Let that be the thing to speak, and never let our feelings be beneath vain compliments

I become quite melancholy and deeply grieved to see men behave to each other as they do. Everywhere I find nothing but base flattery, injustice , self-interest, deceit and roguery. I cannot bear it any longer; I'm furious; and my intention is to break with all mankind.

Gratitude is more of a compliment to yourself than someone else.

The saying 'flattery gets you everywhere' appalls me. If you're going to pay someone a compliment make sure it's 100% genuine or not at all.-Flattery is deception and who wants to be lied to?

Nothing complements a fast mind better than a slow tongue. And nothing aggravates a slow mind better than a fast tongue.

To increase the odds of being thanked, some people compliment some people; some make kids.
