George Washington·1775

Associate with men of good quality if you esteem your own reputation.

Maimonides

It is natural for a man's character and actions to be influenced by his friends and associates and for him to follow the local norms of behavior. Therefore, he should associate with the righteous and be constantly in the company of the wise, so as to learn from their deeds. Conversely, he should keep away from the wicked who walk in darkness, so as not to learn from their deeds.

Philip Sidney·1593

They are never alone that are accompanied with noble thoughts.
