I think most of the proverbs can be found in different languages in similar forms.

But with nuances. The russian saying is similar: "С кем поведёшься, от того и наберёшься" (literally: "You learn from the people you take up with").

One way to same the same thing is "a man is known by the company he keeps", but the best english equivalent would be: "You lie with dogs, you wake up with fleas"

Dime con quién andas y te diré quién eres

We also have

Cría cuervos y te comerán los ojos

In case you want to warn of dangerous acquaintances

So maye much be spyed also, by the company and pastyme that he useth. (Heinrich Bullinger, 1541, translated to English by Bishop Myles Coverdale).

This is an amazing prescient quote of the current state of employee monitoring, and its 500 years old.

I thought it was from Brazil

And I thought it was be from Portugal, but when I read it's from Spain I adjusted to "from Iberia".

But now someone else mentioned Italy. I wouldn't be surprised if it traces its roots to ancient Rome or Greece.

"No, the spainards came and fucked all the Mayans and turned them into Mexicans"

-- Frank Reynolds

"Dimmi con chi vai e ti dirò chi sei" in Italy.

(On the same subject we also have "chi va con lo zoppo impara a zoppicare", which is probably not pc-enough to safely translate these days.)

same in arabic: "قولي من تصاحب اخبرك من انت" translates to "tell me whose your friend and i'll tell you who you are."
