The Positivity Blog has some sayings from Confucius that could be helpful in operating your business. Here are some that I think really apply to you as a business person:

"What you do not want done to yourself, do not do to others."

While this may seem pretty basic for some, others seem to have a hard time with it. Basically treat people honestly, be fare with them after all, isn't that what you want from you suppliers?

Also remember that if you do not treat people fairly, it will get around and in the long run you will not survive in your business venture.

"If you shoot for the stars and hit the moon, it's OK. But you've got to shoot for something. A lot of people don't even shoot."

Just by making the attempt to open your own business, you are ahead of a majority of people who will spend their lives complaining about their job but do nothing about it. You have become a doer and there will be failures, but every failure is a learning experience and the biggest failures of all are those who do not try.

"To be wronged is nothing unless you continue to remember it."

Here is one that we can all take to heart. It is really hard to forget when someone really wrongs you, especially someone who you really tried to be there for. While it may hurt deeply, you need to move on and put the past behind you.
