С кем поведёшься, от того и наберёшься

Said (in good humour or ironically) about someone who has acquired habits and views of those with whom one makes friends, communicates ~ Birds of a feather! He that lies down (or sleeps) with dogs must rise up with fleas. He that lives with cripples learns to limp. He that dwells next door to a cripple, will learn to halt. Who keeps company with the wolf, will learn to howl. You can't touch pitch without being defiled. He that deals with dirt has aye foul fingers. Evil communications corrupt good manners ^ You live and learn - from those you live with. Ср. Скажи мне, кто твой друг, и я скажу, кто ты, С волками жить по-волчьи выть, Яблочко от яблоньки недалеко падает

- У, хохлушка подколодная! крикнула раз одна из подруг её по девичьей, Солошка...
Наташка грустно усмехнулась.
- А что ж, - сказала она задумчиво. - И то правда. С кем поведёшься, от того и наберёшься. Я иной раз по отцу-матери не жалкую так-то, как по хохлам своим. (И. Бунин. Суходол)

"Oh, you Ukrainian snake, you!" Soloshka, one of the housemaids, once snapped at her.
Natasha smiled sadly.
"Oh, well," she said pensively. "That's right too. You do get to be like the people you're with. Birds of a feather! Sometimes, you know, I miss my Ukrainians more than I do my own father and mother."

- Во-первых, не бери чужой грех на свою душу, вроде так говорили в старину. Электростанция не подоспела не по твоей вине...
- Ты смотри. Тростинка, как она овладела! А? щурясь, засмеялся Валерий, приглаживая буйные чёрные волосы.
- С кем поведёшься, от того и наберёшься, - огрызнулась Надя. (Г. Марков. Тростинка на ветру)

"First of all, don't take the sins of others on yourself. It wasn't your fault the power station wasn't ready."
"Got it all off pat, hasn't she, Little Reed? Eh?" Valeri laughed and smoothed his wiry black hair.
"You live and learn - from those you live with," Nadya snapped back.

По шишкинскому примеру, я совсем перестал дома делать задачи и всё норовил списывать их у ребят. Как в пословице говорится: "С кем поведёшься, от того и наберёшься". (Н. Носов. Витя Малеев в школе и дома)

Following Shishkin's example, I had stopped doing my arithmetic at home altogether and copied all the problems from the other boys' books. As the proverb says, bad examples are catching.
