"Associez-vous à des hommes de bonne qualité si vous estimez votre propre réputation car il vaut mieux être seul qu'en mauvaise compagnie"
— George Washington

Simplified Meaning:
Spending time with good people is important if you care about what others think of you. If you hang out with honest and kind individuals, people will respect you too. On the other hand, being friends with dishonest or mean people can make others view you negatively. It's better to be alone than to be around people who might get you into trouble or harm your reputation. For example, if you always hang out with people who cheat or lie, others might think you do the same, even if you don't. So, choose your friends wisely, and don't be afraid to walk away from bad influences to protect your own good name.
