Close association with one who refuses to compromise with circumstances he does not like, is an asset that can never be measured in terms of money.
God sends people across our paths to bless and help us, but we should be directed by God and very cautious when entering into any partnership. We must be sure that the reason for the relationship is right, and sure that we aren't merely looking for a shortcut.
I've found that it is better to be alone than in the wrong company.
Look carefully at the closest associations in your life; they indicate the direction you're heading.
