Padmasambhava
“Do not keep company with or befriend a person who has degenerated his discipline or samayas for even a single moment.
If when wearing white robes you go to an oily swamp, the black stuff will surely discolor the white. Similarly, even though your own samayas are pure you will surely still be defiled by the broken samayas of others. If your own samayas are not pure, it is like black not being tainted by black. So be very careful.
It is there essential not to associate with evil people or with bad company who have lost their vows.
In any case, one should take care not to be ashamed of oneself.”
Padmasambhava, Dakini Teachings: A Collection of Padmasambhava's Advice to the Dakini Yeshe Tsogyal

“If you’re looking to cut ties, remember two things: 1) sharpen your axe, and 2) swing hard.”
