• Como los reyes son engendrados y nacen como los demás hombres, es de suponer que pertenecen a la especie humana; y tal vez, si hubieran recibido la misma educación, podrían llegar a ser como los demás hombres. Pero, halagados desde la cuna, sus corazones se corrompen y sus cabezas se tuercen, de modo que parecen ser una especie por sí mismos.... La adulación no puede ser demasiado fuerte para ellos; ebrios de ella desde su infancia, como viejos bebedores, necesitan sueños.

• There is a wide difference between admiration and love. The sublime, which is the cause of the former, always dwells on great objects and terrible; the latter on small ones and pleasing; we submit to what we admire, but we love what submits to us: in one case we are forced, in the other, we are flattered, into compliance.

  Edmund Burke

• Though I am flattered that Governor Palin has chosen to cite me as a source of wisdom, what I said had nothing to do with politics. This is yet another example of McCain and Palin distorting the truth, and all the more reason to remember that this campaign is not about gender, it is about which candidate has an agenda that will improve the lives of all Americans, including women. The truth is, if you care about the status of women in our society and in our troubled economy, the best choice by far is Obama-Biden.

• Si Juliano se había lisonjeado de que su relación personal con la capital de Oriente produciría una satisfacción mutua para el príncipe y el pueblo, se equivocó mucho al estimar su propio carácter y las costumbres de Antioquía.

I sure am flattered when people think I'm beautiful, but I think I'm leaning towards more cartoonish than beautiful. But I'm comfortable with who I am. And since I wasn't born as a natural beauty, I just make the most of what I've got.
