Famous quotes containing the words house of and/or house:

    The welcome house of him my dearest guest.
    Where ever, ever stay, and go not thence,
    Till natures sad decree shall call thee hence;
    Flesh of thy flesh, bone of thy bone,
    I here, thou there, yet both but one.
    Anne Bradstreet (c. 1612–1672)

    I want a house that has got over all its troubles; I don’t want to spend the rest of my life bringing up a young and inexperienced house.
    Jerome K. Jerome (1859–1927)
