You may catch more flies with honey than vinegar, but you'll get them to work harder if you use a flyswatter.

Jerry Lewis

You catch more flies with honey than you do with vinegar.

Charlaine Harris

A spoonful of honey will catch more flies than a gallon of vinegar.

Benjamin Franklin

A spoon full of honey gets more flies than a barrel full of vinegar.

Saint Francis de Sales

One catches more flies with a spoonful of honey that with twenty casks of vinegar.

Henry IV of France

You do not get more with honey than with vinegar!

Larry Kramer

Remember what your mama told you about honey and vinegar: Be nice, and you’ll catch more flies, if nothing else.

Cassandra King

RuPaul might not broadcast herself as political, but I think she tries to make moves in American history by catching more flies with honey than vinegar. Rather than telling people to vote, maybe she'll do a mini-challenge on voting. She understands that you can influence people in a good way without preaching.

Trixie Mattel

A drop of honey catches more flies than a gallon of gall. So with men. If you would win a man to your cause, first convince him that you are his sincere friend. Therein is a drop of honey which catches his heart, which, say what he will, is the highroad to his reason.

Abraham Lincoln

All the honey that can be gathered from the flowers of this world has less sweetness than the vinegar and gall of Jesus Christ our Lord.

Ignatius of Loyola

When I was young I used to smother myself with olive oil mixed with a dash of vinegar to keep the flies away and lay in the sunshine for hours on end. But we knew no better then. Now we know how stupid that was.

Sirius, the brightest star in the heavens.... My grandfather would say we're part of something incredibly wonderful - more marvelous than we imagine. My grandfather would say we ought to go out and look at it once in a while so we don't lose our place in it.

Robert Fulghum

Used to have a crush on Dawn from En Vogue. It's not like honey dip would wanna get with me, But just in case I own more condoms than TLC.

Even a good marriage leaves people with longings for certain things their marriage will never be. So, do they accept that, make compromises, and say, "You can't have everything in life," which is what we always did? Or do they say, "I deserve more. I want to experience that thing and, you know, I have fifty more years to live than I used to." It's not necessarily that we have more desires today, but we do feel more entitled to pursue them. We live in this "right to happiness" culture, and yes, we do live half a century longer than we used to.

Esther Perel

I'd just say the flies get bigger in the summertime. I guess the flies are buzzing.

Fred Thompson

I was a thorn rushing to be with a rose, vinegar blending with honey… Then I found some dirt to make an ointment that would honor my soul… Love says, “You are right, but don’t claim these changes. Remember, I am wind. You are an ember I ignite.

Rumi
