‘’ Associate yourself with

men of good quality you

esteem your own reputation;

for ‘tis better to be alone than

in bad company.’’-George Washington

What this quote means is that only associate with good people. Never to associate with bad people. That it is better to be alone than associating with bad people that do no good. You want to hang out with a good group of people that respects themselves. You want to hang out with people who appreciate you and that respect you. People that have good esteem and morals.
