A friendship founded on business is better than a business founded on friendship.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've learned that friendship does not equate business, business does not equate friendship.
Business, you know, may bring you money, but friendship hardly ever does.
Friendship is like money, easier made than kept.
Friendship is essentially a partnership.
John D. Rockefeller said that he found friendships based on business to be far more long lasting and profitable than the reverse. I think there's something to that. A company can end up being very Confucian, where the good of the individual is subjugated to the good of the whole.
Friendship is something that is cultivated.
Personal relationships are always the key to good business. You can buy networking; you can't buy friendships.
All things being equal, people will do business with a friend; all things being unequal, people will still do business with a friend.
Friendship is something that creates equality and mutuality, not a reward for finding equality or a way of intensifying existing mutuality.
All lasting business is built on friendship.
