“highly, highly flattered by it all.”
Sonny Rollins
“He that loves to be flattered is worthy o' the flatterer.”
William Shakespeare
“But when I tell him he hates flatterers, He says he does, being then most flattered”
“We're flattered to be picked as high as fifth, but we lost our top three players from last year and I'm not sure that all of the coaches are aware of that. I believe that our competitiveness will allow us to finish near the top half of the conference but every match for us will be a grind. Whether we're playing the team picked first or picked ninth - we'll have to show up and fight our hearts out in order to have a chance to win.”
Michael Hunt
“Flatter me, and I may not believe you. Criticize me, and I may not like you. Ignore me, and I may not forgive you. Encourage me, and I will not forget you. Love me and I may be forced to love you.”
William Arthur Ward
“Be advised that all flatterers live at the expense of those who listen to them.”
Jean de La Fontaine
“Blessed is he who has learned to admire but not envy, to follow but not imitate, to praise but not flatter, and to lead but not manipulate”
