Guest

Famous quotes containing the word guest:

    The temples, the tank, the jail, the palace, the birds, the carrion, the Guest House, that came into view as they issued from the gap and saw Mau beneath: they didn’t want it, they said in their hundred voices, “No, not yet,” and the sky said, “No, not there.”
    —E.M. (Edward Morgan)

    Just start to sing as you tackle the thing
    That “cannot be done,” and you’ll do it.
    —Edgar Albert Guest (1881–1959)

    Entertaining angels unawares: It is always we who are to entertain the angels, and never they us. I cannot, however, think that an angel would be a very entertaining person, either as guest or host.
    Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
