Compliment Quotations
I can live for two months on a good compliment. Mark Twain Everybody likes a compliment. Abraham Lincoln I wish my name was Brian because maybe sometimes people would misspell my name and call me Brain. That's like a free compliment and you don't even gotta be smart to notice it. Mitch Hedberg The greatest compliment that was ever paid me was when one asked me what I thought, and attended to my answer. Henry David Thoreau Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around. Leo Buscaglia The flowery style is not unsuitable to public speeches or addresses, which amount only to compliment. The lighter beauties are in their place when there is nothing more solid to say; but the flowery style ought to be banished from a pleading, a sermon, or a didactic work. Voltaire We were told our campaign wasn't sufficiently slick. We regard that as a compliment. Margaret Thatcher A compliment is something like a kiss through a veil. Victor Hugo Whenever a man's friends begin to compliment him about looking young, he may be sure that they think he is growing old. Victor Hugo If my clothing does stand out, then I guess it's a compliment, but I just wear whatever feels comfortable. Shania Twain |
