FLATTERY~The friend that holds up before me the mirror, conceals not my smallest faults, warns me kindly, reproves me affectionately, when I have not performed my duty, he is my friend, however little he may appear so. Again, if a man flattering praises and boasts me, never reproves me, overlooks my faults, and forgives them before I have repented, he is my enemy, however much he may appear my friend.~Herder
