Quote by Ambrose Bierce
Acquaintance. A person whom we know well enough to borrow from, but not well enough to lend to.
Summary
This quote humorously suggests that an acquaintance is someone we are familiar enough with to feel comfortable asking for a loan or favor, but not close enough to trust with lending our own resources. It highlights the delicate balance between familiarity and trust in relationships, as well as the cautious approach we may take when it comes to financial matters with those we are not intimately close to.
