The Company One Keeps

There are lots of biblical proverbs that talk about the company one keeps. "As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another." "Bad company corrupts good character." "There is a friend who sticks closer than a brother."

At the home of Winston Churchill, inscribed in the stone walkway of his garden, we find a modern parallel: "It does not do to wander too far from sober men."
