What is the difference between "compare to" and "compare with"?

In the MGMAT SC book, it says "compare to" is used for similiarities and "compare with" is used for differences. I am still not sure the difference between these two idioms.

Would you explain or give sentence examples for the two idioms?

Thank you!
