Short Link to this Quote:
In this quote, Kin Hubbard seems to be commenting on the nature of some compliments. The best interpretation is that Hubbard is suggesting some people deliver praise or flattery to others not entirely out of goodwill or kindness, but with an implicit expectation of something in return.
The comparison to expecting a “receipt” implies that for these people, the compliment is not purely given freely but more like a transaction, with the unstated hope or assumption that offering flattery will generate future favors, acknowledgment or reciprocation from the recipient.
In short, Hubbard appears to be noting how some compliments come with a subtle subtext of obligation rather than just being a sincere expression of admiration.

;
not enough just for a person to love or desire money. For a person to be financially successful, it’s also important that money reciprocates that love in a way – that money is attracted to and stays with that person.
The quote suggests that just wanting money alone isn’t enough, a person also needs to understand how to earn, manage, and keep money for it to truly “love” them back and remain with them over time. The quote is attributed to the American humorist Kin Hubbard, who was pointing out the mutual nature of the relationship between people and money.
