julaibib:

Fudail ibn Iyad, may Allah have mercy on him, said:

إِذَا خَالَطْتَ فَخَالِطْ حَسَنَ الْخُلُقِ فَإِنَّهُ لا يَدْعُو إِلا إِلَى خَيْرٍ وَلا تُخَالِطْ سَيِّئَ الْخُلُقِ فَإِنَّهُ لا يَدْعُو إِلا إِلَى شَرٍّ

If you mix with people, then mix with good character for it only invites to good. Do not mix with bad character, for it only invites to evil.
