🔹 One ought to strive much towards meeting good people and eating with them. For if a person knew how salutary it is to meet good people and to eat with them, if there was nothing available that he could give to the good, he would take his own bread, go to good people and eat with them. (188)

[The Wisdom of Sasanian Sages: Dēnkard VI; by Aturpāt-i Ēmētān, translated to English from Middle Persian/Pahlavi by Shaul Shaked]

🔹 Endeavor much for association and messing with the virtuous. Because, if thou shouldst know any one who, howsoever good for companionship and boarding with the virtuous, has not obtained so much as may be offered suitably to the pious, then thou shouldst take thy bread and go amongst the pious, and eat it with them. (188)
