The best compliments
For a while now I’ve been meaning to compile a list of what I view to be the greatest compliments one can give. Only tonight did I get the proper inspiration to write them down.
Naturally this list is quite skewed toward compliments that would work best if given to a personality similar to my own. Duh. That’s what makes a good compliment.
I’d love to hear how anyone else’s might differ.
- You, sir, are a gentleman and a scholar.
- Your mother must be a fine woman.
- Maybe I don’t believe in you—but only because I know I don’t have to, and I can spend that energy elsewhere.
- You always break even. If I believed in God, I would stop, because you always break even.
- I curse that typo. Everything else, I want to embroider and pass down to my children.
A work in progress, I should like to think.
