"Flattery may open doors, but only sincerity keeps them open."
"Too much flattery often hides the truth—real respect doesn't need embellishment."
"Praise means the most when it's rare and real. Constant flattery only dulls its value."
"Flattery is like sugar—sweet at first, but too much of it leaves a bad aftertaste."
"It’s easy to flatter; it’s harder to be honest. I’ll always value the latter more."
"When words are used only to please, they lose their power to mean anything at all."
