I flatter myself that I feel more than I express on canvas; but I know that is not so  (Flatter Quotes) Republics are created by the virtue, public spirit, and intelligence of the citizens. They fall, when the wise are banished from the public councils, because they dare to be honest, and the profligate are rewarded, because they flatter the people, in order to betray them  (Flatter Quotes) I don’t care how stylish something is if it doesn’t flatter me  (Flatter Quotes) So you shouldn’t really flatter yourself that they want to be your buddy. They don’t. Generally. They want you for some reason or other, and you just have to fend that off all the time  (Flatter Quotes) The women who inspired this play deserved to be smacked across the head with a meat ax and that, I flatter myself, is exactly what I smacked them with  (Flatter Quotes) Mathematicians may flatter themselves that they possess new ideas which mere human language is as yet unable to express. Let them make the effort to express these ideas in appropriate words without the aid of symbols, and if they succeed they will not only lay us laymen under a lasting obligation, but, we venture to say, they will find themselves very much enlightened during the process, and will even be doubtful whether the ideas as expressed in symbols had ever quite found their way out of the equations into their minds  (Flatter Quotes) Mr. Lely, I desire you would use all your skill to paint my picture truly like me, and not flatter me at all; but remark all these roughnesses, pimples, warts, and everything as you see me, otherwise I will never pay a farthing for it  (Flatter Quotes) I should be glad if I could flatter myself that I came as near the central idea of the occasion, in two hours, as you did in two minutes  (Flatter Quotes) Those who enter to buy, support me. Those who come to flatter, please me. Those who complain, teach me how I may please others so that more will come. Those only hurt me who are displeased but do not complain. They refuse me permission to correct my errors and thus improve my service  (Flatter Quotes) There exists a black kingdom which the eyes of man avoid because its landscape fails signally to flatter them. This darkness, which he imagines he can dispense with in describing the light, is error with its unknown characteristics. Error is certainty’s constant companion. Error is the corollary of evidence. And anything said about truth may equally well be said about error: the delusion will be no greater  (Flatter Quotes) The fairytale is irresponsible; it is frankly imaginary, and its purpose is to gratify wishes, as a dream doth flatter  (Flatter Quotes) Although men flatter themselves with their great actions, they are not so often the result of a great design as of chance  (Flatter Quotes) The rich man despises those who flatter him too much, and hates those who do not flatter him at all  (Flatter Quotes) The language of judicial decision is mainly the language of logic. And the logical method and form flatter that longing for certainty and for repose which is in every human mind. But certainty generally is illusion, and repose is not the destiny of man  (Flatter Quotes) And I think it’s because good cons are all based on the victim’s need, and the successful con artist is the one, I guess, who can exploit that. I remember reading something about this, that one of the great traits of confidence tricksters is the level that they flatter their victim  (Flatter Quotes) People must flatter their own eyes with their pathetic lives. The things I was saying followed logically the things that I had said before, yet bore no relation to what I was thinking and feeling  (Flatter Quotes) The bards sing of love, they celebrate slaughter, they extol kings and flatter queens, but were I a poet I would write in praise of friendship  (Flatter Quotes) The praise we seek for our own virtues sometimes tempts us to flatter the imperfections of other men  (Flatter Quotes)
