Guest Characters

Famous quotes containing the words guest and/or characters:

    ‘Ye have robbed,’ said he, ‘ye have slaughtered and made an end,
    Take your ill-got plunder, and bury the dead:
    What will ye more of your guest and sometime friend?’
    ‘Blood for our blood,’ they said.
    Sir Henry Newbolt (1862–1938)

    I make it a kind of pious rule to go to every funeral to which I am invited, both as I wish to pay a proper respect to the dead, unless their characters have been bad, and as I would wish to have the funeral of my own near relations or of myself well attended.
    James Boswell (1740–1795)
