Good Quality People

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

-George Washington

George Washington

He's saying that you should surround yourself with good people rather than bad. If you care what your reputation is and want to be known as a good person then you should surround yourself with good people. If you can't find people then stay by yourself. No need to suround yourself with bad people just so you can have friends. Be a good person and don't fall into the trap that the bad wanna put you in. If the bad keep coming after you trying to make you be like them then just walk away. Don't join in just so you can have friends. Do what you believe is right and what will help you succeed in life.
