Bad Company

Choose carefully whom you keep near your fire.
A quick-tempered friend will soon entangle you in needless flames.
A thief will make you complicit in his thefts.
One who laughs at injustice will dull your sense of right.
You cannot wholly avoid the wicked, but you need not make them your companions.
Better to walk alone than with a crowd running toward a cliff.
Your character is reflected in the company you keep.
Keep fellowship with the good, and even if trouble comes, you will not fall to disgrace.
Ma’at is preserved when you surround yourself with those who honor it.
