Friendship is one thing, work another

Дружба – дружбой, а табачок врозь.
Friendship is friendship, but keep your tobacco apart. (don’t mix business and friendship).
OR: Дружба дружбой, а служба службой.
Duty has no sweethearts (Lit: Friendship is friendship and a job is a job).

"Moreover, questions of personal friendship should not be placed on the same level with political questions, for, as the saying goes - friendship is all very well, but duty comes first.

don't mix business and pleasure
sorry Friend, business is business (can say this if you are talking to someone personally)
don't get your priorities mixed-up: friendship is all very well but business is another matter (altogther)
