Usage : {
Adulation }, {
Flattery }, {
Compliment }.
Men deal in compliments from a desire to please ;
they use flattery either from undue admiration ,
or a wish to gratify vanity ;
they practice adulation from sordid motives ,
and with a mingled spirit of falsehood and hypocrisy .
Compliment may be a sincere expression of due respect and esteem ,
or it may be unmeaning ;
flattery is apt to become gross ;
adulation is always servile ,
and usually fulsome .

1913 Webster ]
