Friendship is a prodigal, but love is a miser.

Summary

This quote suggests that friendship is often given freely and abundantly, without reservations or selfishness. It is compared to a prodigal, which refers to someone who spends and gives excessively. On the other hand, love is portrayed as a miser, someone who holds back and is reluctant to give wholeheartedly. This implies that love may be more cautious or hesitant, possibly due to fear of being hurt or betrayed. The quote highlights the contrasting nature of these two emotions and how they differ in their expression.
