“Associate yourself with men of good quality if you esteem your own reputation for it’s  better to be alone than in bad company.”   -George Washington

What this quote is thing to say is that it’s better to be around good people then to be around bad people because they won’t help you at all. Also they if you hang out with the wrong people they won’t help you at all they will only bring you down and if you hang out with the good people or alone it will be best for you because you won’t have to worry about nothing bad. Bad company won’t help you do anything it will only get you into trouble. A good company will help you in many ways that you can’t imagen. If you’re alone you won’t have to worry about the trouble because you haven’t done anything at all.
