Quote by Sydney Smith
Correspondences are like small clothes before the invention of suspenders; it is impossible to keep them up.
Summary
This quote suggests that correspondences, or communication and connections between people, are often difficult to sustain. It compares them to small clothes without suspenders, implying that they tend to fall or fail just like pants without proper support. The quote implies that maintaining correspondent relationships can be challenging, and without proper effort or mechanisms to keep them intact, they are doomed to fail. However, with the invention of suspenders, or in the context of communication, with proper strategies and efforts, correspondences can be successfully maintained.
