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

This quote implies that if you hang out with good people there is a more likely possibility to getting better in different ways. Maybe by the way you talk if you are always cursing you might curse less. Maybe the way you act might make you feel impacted.Or want to be like them.Feel proud for doing the good.You might want to be looked up to like there are for setting their example.Can you set your goal high like the people surrounding you.Once you start hanging out with a certain group sometimes people don’t want to be left out so they start doing what the others are doing. They get influenced by anything others will do. If you get influenced by the bad you are going to end up not so well. If you start to hang out with good people you might start changing because you will feel left out.Your talk might change because you might feel embarrassed or feel like you are the only one different.You are going to change by the people who surround you.
