Quote by Phillips Brooks

The best advisers, helpers and friends, always are not those who tell us how to act in special cases, but who give us, out of themselves, the ardent spirit and desire to act right, and leave us then, even through many blunders, to find out what our own form of right action is.


The best advisers, helpers and friends, always are not those

Summary

This quote suggests that the most effective advisors, helpers, and friends are not those who dictate our actions in specific situations, but rather those who inspire us with their genuine passion and encourage us to act in the right manner. Instead of providing explicit instructions, they allow us to navigate our own path, even if it means making mistakes along the way, so that we can discover our own unique understanding of what is right and act accordingly. In doing so, they empower us to develop our own sense of moral decision-making and self-reliance.
