Zingers by Croft Pentz - April 8, 2008

Flattery is all right as long as you don't believe the one giving the flattery.

The greatest of all passions--seeking self-approval.

Status is a poor substitute for stature--a man should be able to get ahead without getting a swelled head.

People who place too much importance on their standing are generally too big for their shoes.
You don't have to be much of a musician to toot your own horn.
