“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

This statement means that it is better to associate with good people because if you hang with the wrong crowd then you might become like them. If you aren’t going to be surrounded by good people then you might as well not have any friends. It is better to be alone than in bad company. If you are going to be with the bad crowd then I suggest that you stay alone because being with them will cause more harm than good. For example, let’s say that you are friends with people who do drug or bad things you might become like them because you’ll get used to it and think it’s normal. Now let’s say you had good friend who are almost there for you and who actually help you become a better person. If you are a great person, but you hang with the wrong crowd then your reputation will be destroyed even if you haven’t done anything bad. This happens because we are so used to labeling people and the second we see them with someone else we right away label then the same as the other person. If you want to have to have a good reputation then you should hang with good people or just be alone. Don’t let someone else make others look at you differently.
