"Associate yourself
With men of good quality
If you esteem your own
Reputation, for it's
Better to be alone
Than in bad company

Be courteous to all
But intimate with few
And let those few be
Well tried before you
Give them your confidence

True friendship is a
Plant of slow growth,
And must undergo and
Withstand the shocks of
Adversity before it is
Entitled to appreciation"
— George Washington
