Guest

Famous quotes containing the word guest:

    Just start to sing as you tackle the thing
    That “cannot be done,” and you’ll do it.
    —Edgar Albert Guest (1881–1959)

    But must I confess how I liked him,
    How glad I was he had come like a guest in quiet, to drink at my
    water-trough
    And depart peaceful, pacified, and thankless,
    Into the burning bowels of this earth?
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    When mother’s relatives visited,
    delicacies were cooked.
    When father’s guest arrrived,
    mother swelled and had a fit.
    Punjabi proverb, trans. by Gurinder Singh Mann.
