It means that one should always strive to keep in good company, and if no one who would be a good influence or person to be around is there to associate with, then go it alone.

Its like saying if there are only bad people around you, then instead of being near them you should stay alone.

I think this quote is saying be friends with people who are on the same level with you ,people who don’t judge….. or people who can help you to do your best at all times( in other words travel with people who r equal or better than u)…..but if there are none equal or better than u, u should travel by yourself(it means travel or b companions with people who don’t judge u or say things to bring u down at all times or by all means).

Don’t spend time on people who are beneath you.

There are a lot of quotes with similar messages. The point is, people you spend time with (“travel with”) will rub off on you. So don’t spend time with bad people; you could pick up their bad traits. Instead spend time with people who are on your level, or better still people who you admire and who you would want to rub off on you a little. Doing that, you continue growing as a person.

it means the only way to move foward in human expansion is through peace and equality,thus conditions are better.But if others don’t adapt to peace and are violent in your time of travel, travel alone because you are the only wise one.And wise people can move foward in even the most horrid conditions.They have a sense of spiritual knowing what comes ahead.They feel the energy of moving through theirselves.Yet gives them the power to be at peace with theirself and others moving them foward in life.Obstacles can be over run with wisdom,spiritual knowing and courage.”the wise one can cross the river with no problems,the other slips”

Hope it helps

It really hinges on what basis one uses to judge ‘better’ and ‘equal’.

I think that it may mean that you should not spend time with people that you cannot learn from?

Or perhaps you should not waste time on those who cannot help you?

I don’t think I like that quote.

I would say it means, surround yourself with only positive influences throughout all areas of your life. Hanging around the wrong crowd will definitely prevent you from accomplishing the things you desire.

There is a site, http://www.beyondthequote.com/ that provides descriptions to all their quotes.

Don’t go through life associating with people worse than you. That encompasses intellegence, moral values, etc. If you can’t find people who are your equals or better than you, then trust yourself and follow your own heart and advice rather than someone elses.

Meaning, travel only with your legal spouse. If you’re not married, travel alone. And they mean it, or you’re in big trouble.

travel with somebody you love the most, if you can’t find the right person to travel with, go alone!

Travel with experienced persons of your class and ranking. Otherwise you end up paying their bills. I went to vegas with someone who was broke and it was NO fun, I paid for everything and yes, I would have have more fun alone.
