“He who walks with the wise grows wise, but a companion of fools suffers harm.”

Proverb

What this proverb means is that if you surround yourself with good people you will become better overall, but if you hang out with the wrong crowd then you start to become a bad person. I completely agree with this proverb, it is very simple yet truthful. The people you choose to hang out with will have an effect in who you are as a person. Their qualities will eventually integrate into your own personality. So if you hang out with good people, their goodness will start to rub off on you. Same goes for if you hang out with bad people. But one thing we should remember is that these qualities that you gain will not last forever. We shouldn't judge someone based on who they used to hang out with, because those qualities that come from their past friends may disappear.
