Acquaintance lessens fame.

A woman who can't forgive should never have more than a nodding acquaintance with a man

Acquaintance many, and conquaintance few, But for inquaintance I know only two - The friend I've wept and the maid I woo

A slender acquaintance with the world must convince every man that action, not words, are the true criterion of the attachment to friends; and that the most liberal professions of good-will are very far from being the surest marks of it

Acquaintance is a degree of friendship called slight when its object is poor and obscure, and intimate when he is rich and famous.

ACQUAINTANCE, n. A person whom we know well enough to borrow from, but not well enough to lend to. A degree of friendship called slight when its object is poor or obscure, and intimate when he is rich or famous.
