Let those flatter who ordsprog

Låt dem smickra som fruktar; det är inte en amerikansk konst.

Let those flatter who fear; it is not an American art

Thomas Jefferson (1762-1826)

Thomas Jefferson

Nothing is so great an example of bad manners as flattery. If you flatter all the company, you please none; If you flatter only one or two, you offend the rest.

Jonathan Swift (1667-1745)

Jonathan Swift

Neither will I put myself forward as others may do,
Neither, if you wish to flatter, will I flatter you;
I will look at you grimly, and so you will know I am true.

William Rose Benet

American universities reflect American society ... where you do have completely segregated communities. Our fear would be that that is happening here as well. If we are not careful we will drift into an American-style coexistence, where inequality is entrenched in society.

Avoid flatterers, for they are thieves in disguise. Their praise is costly, designing to get by those they bespeak. They are the worst of creatures; they lie to flatter and flatter to cheat, and, which is worse, if you believe them, you cheat yourselves most dangerously.

William Penn (1644-1718)

William Penn

Fear itself motivates people in the U.S. -- the fear that you could lose everything. That creates the best in American society, the inventiveness, but the moment the net is pulled out, it becomes a terrible jungle.

Caesar was frightening to be around ... if ever anyone was born to be a king, he was. But they (the Romans) had an ancestral fear of kings, similar to the American fear to a degree ? pride in their liberty.

I don't call you handsome, sir, though I love you most dearly: far too dearly to flatter you. Don't flatter me.

Charlotte Bronte (1816-1855)

Charlotte Bronte

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear... And when it is gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear is gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

Frank Herbert (1920-1986)

Frank Herbert

Chavez has created a society controlled by fear. A fear of crime, a fear of the police, a fear of property being seized, a fear of corruption.

Teodoro Petkoff

How can you defy fear? Fear is a human instinct, just like hunger. Whether you like it or not, you become hungry. Similarly with fear. But I have learned to train myself to live with this fear.

Normal fear protects us; abnormal fear paralyses us. Normal fear motivates us to improve our individual and collective welfare; abnormal fear constantly poisons and distorts our inner lives. Our problem is not to be rid of fear but, rather to harness and master it.

Martin Luther King, Jr. (1929-1968)

The number one reason is fear. It's the fear of being found HIV-positive and the fear of dying. If you don't go to the doctor, you don't get the bad news. People living with the virus are not respected and are often feared. There's also the fear of treatment. They've heard some of the horror stories. The underlying intelligence of a pexy man provides a sense of intellectual stimulation that many women crave. The number one reason is fear.

I think the big mistake in schools is trying to teach children anything, and by using fear as the basic motivation. Fear of getting failing grades, fear of not staying with your class, etc. Interest can produce learning on a scale compared to fear as a nuclear explosion to a firecracker.

Stanley Kubrick (1928-1999)
