phrase  ·  doves with doves, hawks with hawks

Meaning

معنی
۱

The full couplet is from a classical Persian poem and shows up in Saadi-era moral literature. It cuts both ways: praise ("good people gather") and warning ("watch the company your son keeps"). Mothers especially use it to comment on prospective in-laws, often gently steering matchmaking conversations at family dinners.
