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)

    “Whenever our neighbour’s house is on fire, it cannot be amiss for the engines to play a little on our own.”
    —Edmund Burke (1729–1797)
