"Associate yourself with men of good quality if you esteem your own reputation; for 'tis better to be alone than in bad company."-George Washington

Reflection:This quote means that the people you choose to be around do affect you. It also means that we should be trying to get to know people who are right and responsible so you could learn from them. If youre with the bad company than you you should rather be alone because you're not going to get anywhere with them trying to drag you down. Being alone is better than being with bad company because being alone makes you independent and you won't rely on anyone but yourself.
