' Good friends or no friends '...

Be in the company of people who think alike, not
in that of people who think the opposite way.

Be in
an atmosphere holy and sacred;

and to the extent
possible, from your own point of view, have friends
of this nature.

Either have good friends or no friends.

But don't have bad friends.

Bad friends will distract
your mind, shake your faith by saying things contrary
and illogical.
