"The company you keep determines how others view you. Identify with mediocrity and you will be labeled sub par. Collaborate with questionable people and your reputation becomes suspect. Guilt by association can end a career, hurt your business and cost you friends. Choose alliances wisely or you may be condemned for someone else's sins."

A portrait like this would set you far above all the young men in England, and make the old men jealous, if old men are ever capable of any emotion."

I know what it really is: giving honor to God by being a reflection of His goodness. Never be ashamed to wear that label proudly."
