Acquaintance. A person whom we know well enough to borrow from, but not well enough to lend to.

More quotes by Ambrose Bierce

Abstainer. A weak man who yields to the temptation of denying himself a pleasure.

Absurdity. A statement or belief manifestly inconsistent with one's own opinion.

Consult. To seek another's approval of a course already decided on.

Deliberation. The act of examining one's bread to determine which side it is buttered on.

An acquaintance is someone we know well enough to borrow from, but not well enough to lend to.

We need two kinds of acquaintances, one to complain to, while to the others we boast.

The mere process of growing old together will make the slightest acquaintance seem a bosom friend.
