the Prince Niccolo Machiavelli, Chapter 23. How Flatterer should be avoided. I do not wish to leave out an important branch of this subject, for it is a danger from which princes are with difficulty preserved unless they are very careful and discriminating. It is that a Flatterer of whom courts are full because men are so self complacent in their own affairs and in a way so deceived in them that they're preserved with difficulty from this pest and they wish to defend themselves. They run the danger off falling into contempt because there is no other way of guarding oneself from flatters except letting men understand that to tell you the truth does not offend you. When everyone may tell you the truth, respect for your Bates. Therefore, a wise Prince Auto hold a third course by choosing the Wiseman in his state and giving to them on Lee the liberty of speaking the truth to him and then on Lee off those things off which he inquires and of none others. But he ought to question them upon everything and listen to their opinions and afterwards form his own conclusions. Okay,
