What could be worse than to have hundreds of thousands of sycophantic followers?
To remain humble and sincere, a man needs friends who will advise and guide him, both in the good times and bad, not groupies and admirers that hang on their every word, regardless of what they do.
Better to have a single friend capable of telling you the truth, than a million capable only of telling you lies. Better the friend capable of kindly telling you what you don’t want to hear, than a multitude telling you what you do.
