If I’m citing things from one text and they happen to be next to each other, would I combine the citation? For example, would it be cited like this? “my friends [advised] me” ”to quit the shore”.

Answer:

Yes, as long as there is no other citable material between them.

Step-by-step explanation:

In your example, it looks like the two quotations come from the same sentence. In that case, you could combine them with an ellipses if there are missing words and simply cite the whole entity.
