Here in the big city people spend their time thinking about work and about money; they don't give some value to friendships and it can be depressing.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Business, you know, may bring you money, but friendship hardly ever does.
I'm very rich - in friends. I'm too nice a fellow. I give most of my money away.
Because most people are not sufficiently employed in themselves, they run about loose, hungering for employment, and satisfy themselves in various supererogatory occupations. The easiest of these occupations, which have all to do with making things already made, is the making of people: it is called the art of friendship.
One of the things that people complain about is loneliness, disconnectedness. If you live in a society where your life is rarely threatened and most of your relationships are more on an economic exchange basis, then this could leave people feeling less connected.
Friendship is like money, easier made than kept.
People drain me, even the closest of friends, and I find loneliness to be the best state in the union to live in.
Prosperity makes few friends.
Friendship and money: oil and water.
Constantly having to think about money is not nice. People used to say, 'Being rich doesn't make you happy'. And I'd think, 'I've got no electricity, nothing - tell that to my empty fridge'.
Where there are friends there is wealth.
