More friendships have been broken up due to partnerships in business. Notroiously, even in the best situations there will be problems. Even the best of friends will disagree when it comes to money. It does seem that money brings the best and worst out of a person. Here are a few quotes to think about from the Quote Garden.

1. "The real measure of your wealth is how much you'd be worth if you lost all your money." ~Author Unknown

2. "Only when the last tree has died and the last river been poisoned and the last fish been caught will we realise we cannot eat money." ~Cree Indian Proverb

3. "No matter how hard you hug your money, it never hugs back." ~Quoted in P.S. I Love You, compiled by H. Jackson Brown, Jr.

4. "It's good to have money and the things that money can buy, but it's good, too, to check up once in a while and make sure that you haven't lost the things that money can't buy." ~George Horace Lorimer
