Associate with people of good quality‚ if you esteem your own reputation; for it is better to be alone than in bad company. ~George Washington I agree with George Washington. What I agree with the most is that it is much better to be alone than in bad company. The company that you keep can also act as a reflection of you. Bad company stresses you out.
