The one who associates with the wise grows wise, but a companion of fools suffers harm.

The one who keeps the law is a discerning child, but a companion of gluttons brings shame to his parents.

The man who loves wisdom brings joy to his father, but whoever associates with prostitutes wastes his wealth.

Do not forsake your friend and your father’s friend, and do not enter your brother’s house in the day of your disaster; a neighbor nearby is better than a brother far away.
