On doing business

J.P. Morgan Quotes (jp morgan quote do list):

"Asked: 'Is not commercial credit based primarily upon money or property?'
'No sir,' replied Morgan. 'The first thing is character.'
'Before money or property?'
'Before money or anything else. Money cannot buy it...Because a man I do not trust could not get money from me on all the bonds in Christendom.'"
