Mexican Proverb of the Day: “El que a buen árbol se arrima, buena sombra le cobija,” translated as “He who gets close to a good tree is sheltered by good shade,” is a traditional proverb used in Mexico and across the Spanish-speaking world. The saying uses the protection offered by a tree's shade as a metaphor for the benefits that can come from associating with good, capable or supportive people.
