4   Though compliments should arise naturally out of the occasion, they should not appear to be prompted by the spur of it, for then they seem hardly spontaneous. Applaud a man's speech at the moment when he sits down and he will take your compliment as exacted by the demands of common civility; but let some space intervene, and then show him that the merits of his speech have dwelt with you, and he will remember your compliment for a much longer time than you have remembered his speech. Taylor Henry
5   Compliments and flattery oftenest excite my contempt by the pretension they imply; for who is he that assumes to flatter me? To compliment often implies an assumption of superiority in the complimenter. It is, in fact, a subtle detraction. Thoreau Henry David
6   If you can't get a compliment any other way, pay yourself one. Twain Mark
7   I have been complimented many times and they always embarrass me; I always feel that they have not said enough. Twain Mark
8   It is a great mistake for men to give up paying compliments, for when they give up saying what is charming, they give up thinking what is charming. Wilde Oscar
9   I think a compliment ought always to precede a complaint, where one is possible, because it softens resentment and insures for the complaint a courteous and gentle reception. Twain Mark
10   Don't wait for a funeral to pay a compliment. You may not make it in time. MacKay Harvey
