Plays Host

Famous quotes containing the words plays and/or host:

“The plays and sports of children are as salutary to them as labor and work are to grown persons.”
—Samuel Richardson (1689–1761)

“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)
