Italian translation: si prendono più mosche con il miele che con l'aceto

English term or phrase: Kill your enemies with kindness
Ciao! IN un test che mira a valutare quale dei 5 stili di gestione del conflitto si utilizza di più, trovo la seguente espressione
"I believe in the saying 'Kill your enemies with kindness'"
IL dizionario dice che significa "SOffocare qualcuno di attenzioni", ma non è assolutamente il contesto, deve significare qualcos'altro... IO ho pensato a "Con le buone maniere si ottiene tutto" ma non ci siamo ancora, temo... Avete in emnte qualcosa?
Grazie, ciao!
