Quote by Francis Bacon
There is as much difference between the counsel that a friend give

There is as much difference between the counsel that a friend giveth, and that a man giveth himself, as there is between the counsel of a friend and of a flatterer. For there is no such flatterer as is a mans self. – Francis Bacon
