Vennskap vil ikke tåle belastningen av veldig mange gode råd særlig lenge.
The Peal of Bells (1924).
Friendship will not stand the strain of very much good advice for very long.
I often long to direct them with good advice, and refrain only because I know that friendship itself will not stand the strain of very much good advice for very long. And so, while I am inwardly aching to preach to my errant fellow-creatures, I find myself talking to them instead about diet, diseases, cinemas, Bernard Shaw, and the day on which I backed three winning horses at Ascot.
