When one is frank, one's very presence is a compliment.
Marianne Moore
Image
But the most obvious fact about praise — whether of God or anything — strangely escaped me. I thought of it in terms of compliment, approval, or the giving of honor. I had never noticed that all enjoyment spontaneously overflows into praise unless (sometimes even if) shyness or the fear of boring others is deliberately brought in to check it.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Unjust criticism is usually disguised compliment. It often means that you have aroused jealously and envy. Remember that no one ever kicks a dead log.
Dale Carnegie
Image
If you're criticized then you can use it as an experience. Compliments, you can't use.
Yoko Ono
Image
Love is appreciating, complimenting, feeling gratitude, and speaking good words to others.
Rhonda Byrne
Image
Happiness is about being proud of who you are. Be a good friend, be a good daughter, be reliable, be willing to laugh when things get tough, compliment other girls, care about your job, believe in yourself, be vulnerable, tell the truth, apologize when needed, forgive people...
Erin Foster

You want to be the best at your position. And if people think of me as one of the best ever, that's the ultimate compliment.
Brian Urlacher
Image
I've been treated there (Camden Yards in Baltimore) just like everywhere else: you got everyone booing for you. I take that as a compliment.
Albert Belle

I think people tend to believe that women who are successful are probably neglecting their children, possibly a bit hard-nosed and that they don't really support other women very much - that they're men-haters and ball-breakers. I've certainly been on the receiving end of those 'compliments' for most of my career.
Jo Brand

Compliments make me vain: & when I am vain, I am insolent & overbearing. It is a pity, too, because I love compliments. I love them even when they are not so. My child, I can live on a good compliment two weeks with nothing else to eat.
Mark Twain
Image
The greatest compliment I can pay Paul Scholes is that he reminds me of Bryan Robson, the way he bombs into the box.
Ray Wilkins
Image
The happiness of life is made up of minute fractions.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Image
My skin still crawls if you call me a movie star. I get embarrassed. I think, don't be ridiculous. Maybe it's because I'm British. To me, Julia Roberts, that's a movie star. But when people do call me one, that, I think, is an enormous compliment but, my God, is that a responsibility!
Kate Winslet
Image
The New Year is the season in which custom seems more particularly to authorize civil and harmless lies, under the name of compliments. People reciprocally profess wishes which they seldom form and concern which they seldom feel.
Lord Chesterfield
Image
LISP has jokingly been described as the most intelligent way to misuse a computer. I think that description is a great compliment because it transmits the full flavour of liberation: it has assisted a number of our most gifted fellow humans in thinking previously impossible thoughts.
Edsger Dijkstra
Image
If people did not compliment one another there would be little society.
Luc de Clapiers
Image
You got amphetamine eyes.
Rod Stewart
Image
Fight less, cuddle more. Demand less, serve more. Text less, talk more. Criticize less, compliment more. Stress less, laugh more. worry less, pray more. With each new day, find new ways to love each other even more.
Dave Willis
Image
It's very inexpensive to give a compliment.
Joyce Meyer
Image
The highest compliment one can be paid by another human being is to be told: 'Because of what you are, you are essential to my happiness.'
Nathaniel Branden
Image
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
Image
If you're not the one cooking, stay out of the way and compliment the chef.
Michael Strahan
Image
Here's what happens - you create something in the moment that you feel will be good, and then... people's reactions to it or people referencing it years later, it's a compliment.
Michael Patrick King
Image
the best compliment to a mother is to appreciate her little one.
