Mary Boleyn: [in Henry's bedchamber] So, this is it?... Where the king of England sleeps? King Henry VIII: And reads and writes. Finds a few moments each day to himself. Mary Boleyn: [nervously] And yet you invite me here? King Henry VIII: Because I like you and trust you. Mary Boleyn: You hardly know me. King Henry VIII: I am lied to a hundred times a day. Petitioned. Lobbied. One learns how to decifer a face. [caresses Mary's face] King Henry VIII: Yours is as the sun. One shouldn't gaze too long. [pauses] King Henry VIII: My flattery makes you uncomfortable?... Because compliments in your family are usually for some else. The elder sister... That's something I understand. What it is to be the second child. Forever in the shadows... I'm making you uncomfortable again. [Mary smiles, shaking her head as Henry leans in and kisses her]

I believe that love--not imitation--is the sincerest form of flattery. Your imitator thinks that you can be duplicated; your lover knows you can't.
I do not know whether anyone has ever succeeded in not enjoying praise. And, if he enjoys it, he naturally wants to receive it. And if he wants to receive it, he cannot help but being distraught at losing it.

It flattered her, where she was most susceptible of flattery, to think how, wound about in their hearts, however long they lived she would be woven...
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but theft is a sin.
In the best, the friendliest and simplest relations flattery or praise is necessary, just as grease is necessary to keep wheels turning.
