Lord High

Famous quotes containing the words lord and/or high:

    My lord endures
    much care of mind.He remembers too often
    a happier dwelling.Woe be to them
    that for a loved onemust wait in longing.
    —Unknown. The Wife’s Lament (l. 50–53)

    But hospitality must be for service, and not for show, or it pulls down the host. The brave soul rates itself too high to value itself by the splendor of its table and draperies. It gives what it hath, and all it hath, but its own majesty can lend a better grace to bannocks and fair water than belong to city feasts.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
