"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
George Washington's quote in my opinion is true because if your going to have negative people around you might as well just not have any company at all. By being around positive people you not only have a positive atmosphere but its also shows the respect you have toward yourself. By hanging out with negative people your reputation becomes crippled and people start judging you not only by you but by who you hang out with. I remember one other quote we were doing that said, the people that you with most of the time have the hugest impact on the way you will act. For example if you start to hang out with people who are always focus on school, then more than likely later on you yourself will start to be more focus on school. The reason is because we as human are capable of adapting and we always adapt to our environment. Another example can be if you are known to be a person who never does anything in school but you start to hang around people who always do their work than more than likely your will adapt. Soon or later you'll start to become a person who is always on task as well.
