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

I agree with this expression up to a certain degree. I do believe that you should associate yourself with good quality people, but some people can't be alone due to other situations, like depression. Some people would do anything to not be alone, including associating with bad people. Probably because bad people let others join their friend group easily, and poor people that need to be around others take this opportunity, because if they don't they might even do other things that aren't needed. In my opinion some people might need to be with others, but if they can they should be around good people . If you can be with good people over bad people, do that.
