Guest

Famous quotes containing the word guest:

    Time is like a fashionable host,
    That slightly shakes his parting guest by the hand,
    And with his arms outstretched, as he would fly,
    Grasps in the comer: the welcome ever smiles,
    And farewell goes out sighing.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Geez, if I could get through to you, kiddo, that depression is not sobbing and crying and giving vent, it is plain and simple reduction of feeling. Reduction, see? Of all feeling. People who keep stiff upper lips find that it’s damn hard to smile.
    —Judith Guest (b. 1936)

    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)
