Flirting Quotes

To avoid mistakes and regrets, always consult your wife before engaging in a flirtation. ~E.W. Howe

Flirtation: attention without intention. ~Max O'Rell, John Bull and His Island


Women flirt to keep their stock high, men to get somewhere. ~Mignon McLaughlin, The Neurotic's Notebook, 1960


The greatest miracle of love is the cure of coquetry. ~François Duc de la Rochefoucauld, Maxims


Why does a man take it for granted that a girl who flirts with him wants him to kiss her - when, nine times out of ten, she only wants him to want to kiss her? ~Helen Rowland


Women know not the whole of their coquetry. ~François Duc de la Rochefoucauld, Maxims


Beauty is power; a smile is its sword. ~Charles Reade


The coquets of both sexes are self-lovers, and that is a love no other whatever can dispossess. ~John Gay, The Beggar's Opera


Coquetry is the essential characteristic, and the prevalent humor of women; but they do not all practice it, because the coquetry of some is restrained by fear or by reason. ~François Duc de la Rochefoucauld, Maxims


Coquetry whets the appetite; flirtation depraves it. Coquetry is the thorn that guards the rose - easily trimmed off when once plucked. Flirtation is like the slime on water-plants, making them hard to handle, and when caught, only to be cherished in slimy waters. ~Ik Marvel

Copyright and Permissions

“All my best thoughts were stolen by the ancients.” ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

The question I'm asked most is about copyright and permissions, from people working on projects to be published. Requests for permission to use individual quotes must go through the original authors or their publishing companies. I am not familiar with the copyright guidelines for using individual quotations in published materials such as greeting cards and calendars. You might start by searching Google for "copyright," "fair use" or "fair dealing," contacting the author's publishing company, contacting an attorney, or using only works from authors who died more than 95 years ago, in which case the copyright has likely expired. As far as I am aware, compilations such as this site and other quotation anthologies are covered under fair use.
