OSCAR WILDE Observes:
According to tradition, "a boy's best friend is his mother." I agree, as he can borrow money from her when he can from no other. And she may well not sue if it is not repaid.
MARK TWAIN Remarks:
I am most offended by Mr. Wilde equating motherly love with money. This is utterly not true... until the amount reaches approximately $5,000. It does vary a bit depending upon the particular mother.
