The company of just and righteous men is better than wealth and a rich estate.

Money protects you from some troubles and attracts others; honest people around you do something money cannot, which is tell you the truth about yourself before it becomes expensive. A person with a fortune and no straight friends is surrounded by agreement, and agreement is the most costly thing you can buy. The value of decent company is not warmth so much as accuracy.

Count how many people in your life would tell you plainly that you were wrong. If the number is low, the fix is to start treating the last person who did as an asset rather than an irritation.
