Famous quotes containing the words ghost and/or host:
“The pencil of the Holy Ghost hath laboured more in describing the afflictions of Job than the felicities of Solomon.”
—Francis Bacon (1561–1626)
“Carlyle’s works, it is true, have not the stereotyped success which we call classic. They are a rich but inexpensive entertainment, at which we are not concerned lest the host has strained or impoverished himself to feed his guests. It is not the most lasting word, nor the loftiest wisdom, but rather the word which comes last.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
