Some people are so impatient that they ask you for a favour as soon as they are done complimenting you.

By saying only good things about the deceased during their funeral, we make it seem as if they were perfect … and are being auctioned.

We automatically allow what someone will say about us to make us unhappy when we allow what they have said about us to make us happy.

Some of the men who we are openly praising are secretly sleeping with their own daughters … without their consent.

It is extremely difficult not to fake or overdo something on which you have just been complimented.

We are generally pleased the most by compliments that are insincere.

Talent is often suffocated by the desire to be deemed talented.
