He that loves to be flattered is worthy of the flatterer.

Summary

This quote suggests that individuals who enjoy receiving flattery are deserving of those who provide it. It implies that people who desire constant admiration and indulge in flattery may lack self-awareness or have a shallow character. It suggests that a person who seeks continuous flattery may value surface-level admiration rather than genuine relationships or meaningful connections. Hence, they are susceptible to manipulation and deceit from those who seek to exploit their desire for praise.
