In the dance of life, choose your partners well,
Be smart who you pick,
Be discerning,
Choose your company, let wisdom steer.
Choose wisely, where you stand.
Pick your buddies, keep your light.
Don’t wander where fools parade.
With smart folks, your journey’s sound,
Stay with them, on solid ground.
Don’t hang out with idiots!
Don’t be the idiot!
Proverbs 13:20
He who walks with wise men will be wise,
But the companion of fools will be destroyed.
– Pope
Say No
As many times as possible! As consistently as possible! As often as the need arises! -Pope
