These are very very wise words, that I have learned...

THE COMPANY YOU KEEP
ANONYMOUS
It Is Better To Be Alone, Than In The Wrong Company.
Tell me who your best friends are, and I will tell you who you are.
If you run with wolves, you will learn how to howl. But, if you
associate
with eagles, you will learn how to soar to great heights.
"A mirror reflects a man's face, but what he is really like is shown by
the kind of friends he chooses."
The simple but true fact of life is that you become like those with whom
you closely associate - for the good and the bad.
The less you associate with some people, the more your life will
improve.
Any time you tolerate mediocrity in others, it increases your
mediocrity.
An important attribute in successful people is their impatience with
negative thinking and negative acting people. As you grow, your
associates will change.
Some of your friends will not want you to go on. They will want you to
stay where they are. Friends that don't help you climb will want you to
crawl.
Your friends will stretch your vision, or choke your dream. Those that
don't increase you will eventually decrease you.
Consider this: Never receive counsel from unproductive people. Never
discuss your problems with someone incapable of contributing to the
solution, because those who never succeed themselves, are always first
to tell you how.
Everyone has a right to speak into your life. You are certain to get
the worst of the bargain, when you exchange ideas with the wrong person.
Don't follow anyone who's not going anywhere.
With some people you spend an evening: with others you invest it.
Be careful where you stop to inquire for directions along the road of
life.
Sugar Says:
'Life is not the way it's supposed to be.
It's the way it is.
The way you cope with it is what makes the difference.'
