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 F. Buscaglia
I think a compliment ought always to precede a complaint, where one is possible, because it softens resentment and insures for the complaint a courteous and gentle reception
Mark Twain
I don`t like compliments, and I don`t see why a man should think he is pleasing a woman enormously when he says to her a whole heap of things that he doesn`t mean
Oscar Wilde
