Dollars and Friendship

DOLLARS AND FRIENDSHIP. One of the saddest phases of our strenuous American life is the terrible slaughter of friendships by our dollar chasers. Is there anything more chilling in this world than to have a lot oi money but practically no friends? What does that thing which we call success amount to if we have sacrificed our friendship, if we have sacrificed the most sacred thing in life in getting it ? We may hav3 plenty of acquaintances, but acquaintances are not friends. There are plenty of rich people in this country today who scarcely know the luxury of real friendship. Orison Swett Marden.
