"LIVE WITH THOSE from whom you can learn, let friendly intercourse be a school for knowledge, and social contact, a school for culture, to make teachers of your friends is to join the need of learning to the joy of converse.  Happiness among the understanding is mutual, rewarded for what they say by the approval they receive, and for what they hear, by what they learn, it is personal interest usually that draws men together but here it is glorified.  A man of understanding seeks out the houses of those true noblemen which are more the stages of an heroic than the palaces of vanity.   There exist men in this world, known to the discerning, who in their bearing are veritable exemplars of every greatness and whose train, even, constitutes a courtly academy of art and learning."
         
From the work of the 16th century
Baltasar Gracian
