“Be careful the environment you choose, for it will shape you; be careful the friends you choose for you will become like them.”

“Choose your friends carefully but don’t worry about your enemies, they will choose you”

“Be careful who you choose as your friends because their bad habits can become your bad habits. Choose wisely...we all have a choice in life.”

“Whatever will happen will happen, but choose your companions with care. Choose them because you like to look at them and you like the sound of their voices, and they have profound secrets in them that you wish to know. In other words, choose them because you love them. Otherwise you will not be able to bear their company for very long.”

“You don't choose your friends, they choose you, and you either reject them or you accept them without reservations.”

“By surrounding yourself with people who are positive, caring, intelligent, loving, and open-minded, you create a personal environment that is conducive to your emotional and personal growth. By surrounding yourself with the opposite, you create a personal environment that is conducive to the opposite. Choose accordingly.”
