Hitopdesh • Chapter 5 • Shloka 4
अपरं च । सुहृदां हितकामानां यो वाक्यं नाभिनन्दति ।
स कूर्म इव दुर्बुद्धिः काष्ठाद्भ्रष्टो विनश्यति ॥
Moreover, that foolish man (lit. of wicked intellect), who does not approvingly follow the advice of his friends who have his welfare at heart, perishes like the silly tortoise that fell off from a piece of wood.
