Choice of Compaions

A good companion is better than a fortune, for a fortune cannot purchase those elements of character which make companionship a blessing. The best companion is one Who is wiser and better than ourselves, for we are inspired by his wisdom and virtue to more noble deeds.

Character makes character in the associations of life faster than anything else. This fact makes the choice of companions in early life more important even than that of teachers and guardians.

Companionship is education, good or bad; it develops manhood or womanhood, high or low; it lifts the soul upward or drags it downward; it is helpful to virtue or vice. Good companions help us to sow virtue; evil companions help us to sow vice.
