“Fly from bad companions as from the bite of a poisonous snake.

“You’re the average of the five people you spend the most time with.” – Jim Rohn
“The friendship which can cease has never been real.” – St. Jerome
“True friendship ought never to conceal what it thinks.“ – St. Jerome
“Love everyone with a deep love based on charity,… but form friendships only with those who can share virtuous things with you. The higher the virtues you share and exchange with others, the more perfect your friendship will be.” – St. Francis de Sales
