Verse 7.98.24

न सज्जनाद्दूरतरः क्वचिद्भवेद्भजेत साधून्विनयक्रियान्वितः ।
स्पृशन्त्ययत्नेन हि तत्समीपगं विसारिणस्तद्गतपुष्परेणवः ॥ २४ ॥

na sajjanāddūrataraḥ kvacidbhavedbhajeta sādhūnvinayakriyānvitaḥ |
spṛśantyayatnena hi tatsamīpagaṃ visāriṇastadgatapuṣpareṇavaḥ || 24 ||

Therefore no one should live afar from the society of the good and great; who are ever to be regarded with respect and esteem;because the company of the good though slightly courted, is sure to purify the newcomer with the flying fragrance of their virtues.
