"People of Good Quality"

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

What this quote is saying is that it is much better if you surround yourself with people who chooose the right, mch better than people who are always choosing the wrong. If the case is that you can't find people who choose the right and there are only people who choose the right then all there is left to do is the tougher but better choice of being by yourself. When your by yourself no one will be tempting you to choose the wrong, therefore you will always choose the right. And you won't submit to peer pressure, because there won't be any peers to pressure you and that's final. A good example of this would be hanging out with people who want to tag a building. Instead of hanging out with them you should hang out with people who want to do something good like help the environment. And if you don't want to do any of that, you can choose the right, by being on your own and not having to have problems. You will be sin free, and capable of being your own person. Another example would be hanging with a crowd and ditching school. Instead you should be with the good kids who make school fun and don't like to ditch school. They'll keep you smart and trouble free. That is why you must follow this quote. It is important and can lead the way to better things in your life. None other than the most American president himself, George Washington. This guy has some of the best quotes, that make living everday worth it.
