How to use flatterer in a sentence?

1. Francis Quarles:

2. Aristotle:

   A flatterer is a friend who is your inferior, or pretends to be so.

   When the flatterer pipes, the devil dances.

4. Saadi Shirazi:

   Heed not the flatterer?s fulsome talk, He from thee hopes some trifle to obtain; Thou wilt, shouldst thou his wishes baulk, Ten hundred times as much of censure gain.

5. Francis Bacon:

   There is as much difference between the counsel that a friend giveth, and that a man giveth himself, as there is between the counsel of a friend and of a flatterer. For there is no such flatterer as is a man's self.
