Many a man who thinks to found a home discovers that he has merely opened a tavern for his friends.

Summary

This quote suggests that sometimes, individuals who believe they are establishing a stable and intimate environment like a home eventually realize that their space has instead transformed into a place for their friends to gather and take advantage of their generosity. It implies that their initial intention of creating a welcoming and personal atmosphere has unintentionally turned into a social hub, where friends come to enjoy themselves without contributing to the sense of a true home.
