Famous quotes containing the words guest and/or appearances:
“Praise to Christ who feeds the hungry, frees the captive, finds the lost,
Heals the sick, upsets religion, fearless both of fate and cost.
Celebrate Christ’s constant presence—Friend and Stranger, Guest and Host.”
—The Iona Community (founded 1938)
“The appearances of goodness and merit often meet with a greater reward from the world than goodness and merit themselves.”
