How to use flatter in a sentence?

  1. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart:

    Nevertheless the passions, whether violent or not, should never be so expressed as to reach the point of causing disgust; and music, even in situations of the greatest horror, should never be painful to the ear but should flatter and charm it, and thereby always remain music.

  2. Dave Brailsford:

    The focus will be on supporting Vincenzo Nibali and protecting through the flatter, mid-mountain stages, then, when it comes to the key stages, Vincenzo Nibali can do Vincenzo Nibali thing.

  3. Louis Aragon:

    There exists a black kingdom which the eyes of man avoid because its landscape fails signally to flatter them. This darkness, which he imagines he can dispense with in describing the light, is error with its unknown characteristics. Error is certainty's constant companion. Error is the corollary of evidence. And anything said about truth may equally well be said about error: the delusion will be no greater.

  4. William A. Ward:

    Flatter me, and I may not believe you. Critisize me, and I may not like you. Ignore me, and I may not forgive you.

  5. Oliver Wendell Holmes:

    Don't flatter yourself that friendship authorizes you to say disagreeable things to your intimates. The nearer you come into relation with a person, the more necessary do tact and courtesy become. Except in cases of necessity, which are rare, leave your friend to learn unpleasant things from his enemies they are ready enough to tell them.
