Proverbs 13:10, 14, 16, 20
Pride only breeds quarrels, But with ones who take advice is wisdom. 14 The teaching of the wise is a spring of life, To turn from the snares of death. 16 Every prudent man acts from knowledge, But a fool exposes folly. 20 One who walks with wise men grows wise, But a companion of fools suffers harm.

Proverbs has many related truths here: Pride versus being willing to listen and learn (teachability). Learning from wise teaching by seeking God's way of life. Learning truth and then acting on it, not always pointing out errors, but knowing which battles to engage in. Finding others seeking God and His wisdom (who aim to live by His word (Heb.13:7), not hanging out with foolish people who drag you down. Selah.
