- Filosofi
To consort with the crowd is harmful; there is no person who does not make some vice attractive to us, or stamp it upon us, or taint us unconsciously therewith. Certainly, the greater the mob with which we mingle, the greater the danger.

We really need to hold those we consort with to a higher standard.
Those we hang around with are supposed to help us improve, and become a better person.
If they aren't, they are dragging us down to their level
