Associate yourself with men of good quality if you esteem your own reputation, for 'tis 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 the appellation.
Be courteous to all, but intimate with few; and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence.
Few men have virtue to withstand the highest bidder.
It's wonderful what we can do if we're always doing.
Labor to keep alive in your breast that little spark of celestial fire called conscience.
Our cause is noble; it is the cause of mankind!

letter to his niece Harriet Washington, October 30, 1791
