I guess anytime you are mentioned with Hank Aaron, it is the ultimate compliment, not only as a hitter, but obviously, the great ballplayer that he was.
Alex Rodriguez
Image
An acquaintance that begins with a compliment is sure to develop into a real friendship.
Oscar Wilde
Image
To call a man a characteristically Oxford man is, in my opinion, to give him the highest compliment that could be paid to any human being.
William E. Gladstone
Image
There is some virtue in almost every vice, except hypocrisy and even that, while it is a mockery of virtue, is at the same time a compliment to it.
William Hazlitt
Image
Never lose a chance of saying a kind word. As Collingwood never saw a vacant place in his estate but he took an acorn out of his pocket and planted it, so deal with your compliments through life. An acorn costs nothing, but it may spread into a prodigious timber.
William Makepeace Thackeray
Image
There is a wide difference between general acquaintance and companionship. You may salute a man and exchange compliments with him daily, yet know nothing of his character, his inmost tastes arid feelings.
William Matthews
Image
Maybe not as an idol, but I have influenced some people, including my son Joshua. So that feels good. Wherever I play musicians come to meet me, that is a great compliment to me. I am honored.
Dewey Redman
Image
Bowing, ceremonious, formal compliments, stiff civilities, will never be politeness that must be easy, natural, unstudied and what will give this but a mind benevolent and attentive to exert that amiable disposition in trifles to all you converse and live with?
William Pitt, 1st Earl of Chatham
Image
I take anything other than 'you big pig!' as a compliment.
Albert Brooks
Image
I would not have discredited every one of their compliments. It was your approval I wanted, your congratulations.
Alanis Morissette
Image
When someone says that I'm angry it's actually a compliment. I have not always been direct with my anger in my relationships, which is part of why I'd write about it in my songs because I had such fear around expressing anger as a woman.
Alanis Morissette
Image
I’m a nudist by trade and hobby. I grew up in LA and I’ve been fortunate enough to be doing this for a great deal of years if someone is thinking of me as they’re writing something I take it as a huge compliment and hope that it’s an interesting character at least.
Martin Starr
Image
It's where I keep all my things. Get a lot of compliments on this. Plus it's not a purse, it's called a satchel. Indiana Jones wears one.
Alan Garner
Image
If you are flattering a woman, it pays to be a little more subtle. You don't have to bother with men, they believe any compliment automatically.
Alan Ayckbourn
Image
Nothing is more effective than sincere, accurate praise, and nothing is more lame than a cookie-cutter compliment.
Bill Walsh
Image
Deference is the most complicate, the most indirect, and the most elegant of all compliments.
William Shenstone
Image
Free from gross passion or of mirth of anger constant spirit, not swerving with the blood, garnish'd and deck'd in modest compliment, not working with the eye without the ear, and but in purged judgement trusting neither? Such and so finely bolted didst thou seem.
William Shakespeare
Image
Get into the relationship for the right reason because it's a great support system, because it's a great compliment to your life, because it's someone that actually fulfills you and makes you happy.
Wilmer Valderrama
Image
I think a lot of the criticism had to do with disliking the characters - which, again, I take as something of a compliment.
Adrian Tomine
Image
Shooting at a man who is returning the compliment means going into action with the greatest speed of which a man's muscles are capable, but mentally unflustered by an urge to hurry or the need for complicated nervous and muscular actions which trick shooting involves.
Wyatt Earp
Image
It's been amazing to watch, because for Thor, which was always a mid-selling book, to be in the top ten for every single issue since the reboot is just a great compliment.
J. Michael Straczynski
Image
You are beautiful. Don't ever think you are not. It may be such a compliment that does not come from a man too often. They are shy, proud, and rude. Give yourself some love. And walk as what you are - a beautiful woman. All your life.
Yoko Ono
Image
I’d rather be a straight ‘self-proclaimed homosexual’ than a racist, ignorant, hate-filled bigot in Rise Up Australia any day. This party wants to end multiculturalism and discriminate against anyone different. What this mob intends as a grievous insult, I take as a compliment. Long live equal rights.
Adam Bandt

Everybody appreciates a compliment.
Abraham Lincoln
