लोकनन्दन चन्दनद्रुम सखे नास्मिन् वने स्थीययतां 
दुर्वंशैः पुरुषैरसारहृदयैराक्रान्तमेतद्वनम्  ।
तेऽप्यन्योन्यनिघर्षनातदहनज्वालावलीव्याकुलाः 
न स्वान्येव कुलानि केवकममी सर्वं दहेयुर्वनम्  ॥
- कुवलयानन्द
A sandalwood tree can not exist peacefully in a forest full of hard useless trees. Similarly a virtous people can not co-exist  with hard hearted rough rogues. The fire started by their mutual hatred will not only burn them, but also burn the good trees  (virtuous people).
