Quote by George Washington (1732-1799)

• It is far better to be alone, than to be in bad company.

• It is better to offer no excuse than a bad one.

• 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 the appellation.

• It is better to be alone than in bad company.

• Labor to keep alive in your breast that little spark of celestial fire called conscience.

• Few men have virtue to withstand the highest bidder.
