Far and near friends knew this house; for he whose home it was had much acquaintance in the world

Charlie and I are friends personally just from our acquaintance through the NFL ... but we probably know each other better from an X's and O's standpoint.

Have but few friends though much acquaintance

Do not choose for your friends and familiar acquaintance those that are of an estate or quality too much above yours...You will hereby accustom yourselves to live after their rate in clothes, in habit, and in expenses, whereby you will learn a fashion and rank of life above your degree and estate, which will in the end be your undoing.

A slender acquaintance with the world must convince every man that actions, not words, are the true criterion of the attachment of friends

For a friend with an understanding heart is worth no less than a brother
