सुलभाः पुरुषा राजन् सततं प्रिय वादिनः । अप्रियस्य च पथ्यस्य वक्ता श्रोता च दुर्लभः ॥ - वाल्मीकि रामायणम् (३.३७.२) - वाल्मीकि Oh King, it is easy to get a person that always says words that please you. However, it is very difficult to find someone who can say something that may be unpleasant to hear but is brings welfare to you. [Context: Demon Mareecha says this to Ravana, when Ravana approaches Mareecha to help him to take Sita away and he is angry that Mareecha refused to help him initially.] - excerpt from Valmiki Ramayanam (3.37.2) - by Valmiki
