кукушка хвалит петуха <за то, что хвалит он кукушку>(И. Крылов)The Cuckoo praises Mr. Cock / Because the Cock praises the Cuckoo; cf. claw me, and I will claw thee; mutual admiration societyЕсли бы "самокритика" в этой группе [Панфёрова] не шла по линии "кукушка хвалит петуха, а петух кукушку", то и "Бруски" были бы на несравненно высшем художественном уровне. (М. Шолохов, За честную работу писателя и критика) — If this grouping had not adopted the policy of a mutual admiration society, Panfyorov's Bruski would have been written on a much higher artistic level.
