"Associate yourself with men of good quality if you esteem your own reputation; for 'tis better to be alone than in bad company."
George Washington
A very similar thought comes across in Hebrews. The "cloud of witnesses" are actually people of faith. If we surround ourselves with people of faith and conviction, we will be able to go through the "race" of life with help. A little help from your friends goes a long way.
"Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God."
Hebrews 12:1,2
