Allow No Man To Be So Free With You As To Praise You To Your Face.

Allow no man to be so free with you as to praise you to your face. Your
vanity by this means will want its food. At the same time your passion
for esteem will be more fully gratified; men will praise you in their
actions: where you now receive one compliment, you will then receive
twenty civilities.
