	SUMMA THEOLOGICA: Is flattery a mortal sin? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		For, according to Augustine (Enchiridion xii), "a thing is evil because it is harmful." But flattery is most harmful, according to Ps.
		Further, whoever does harm by words, harms himself no less than others: wherefore it is written (Psalm 36:15): "Let their sword enter into their own hearts." Now he that flatters another induces him to sin mortally: hence a gloss on Ps.
		Flattery of this kind is said to harm more than the sword of the persecutor, since it does harm to goods that are of greater consequence.

	SUMMA THEOLOGICA: The comparison of quarreling with flattery (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Now flattery does more harm than quarreling, for it is written (Isaiah 3:12): "O My people, they that call thee blessed, the same deceive thee, and destroy the way of thy steps." Therefore flattery is a more grievous sin than quarreling.
		Further, there appears to be a certain amount of deceit in flattery, since the flatterer says one thing, and thinks another: whereas the quarrelsome man is without deceit, for he contradicts openly.
		On another way we may consider them as regards certain external motives, and thus flattery sometimes more grievous, for instance when one intends by deception to acquire undue honor or gain: while sometimes quarreling is more grievous; for instance, when one intends either to deny the truth, or to hold up the speaker to contempt.

	SUMMA THEOLOGICA: Is flattery a sin?
		But it would belong to flattery, if one wished to praise a person for things in which he ought not to be praised; since perhaps they are evil, according to Ps.
		Wherefore even as detraction is evil, so is flattery, which is contrary thereto as regards what is said, but not directly as regards the end.
		Because flattery seeks to please the person flattered, whereas the detractor seeks not the displeasure of the person defamed, since at times he defames him in secret, but seeks rather his defamation.
