Stranger

Famous quotes containing the word stranger:

    ‘Tis good to give a stranger a meal or a night’s lodging. ‘Tis better to be hospitable to his good meaning and thought, and give courage to a companion. We must be as courteous to a man as we are to a picture, which we are willing to give the advantage of a good light.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    And the Stranger will depart and return to the desert.
    O my soul, be prepared for the coming of the Stranger,
    Be prepared for him who knows how to ask questions.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    He is a stranger to me but he is a most remarkable man—and I am the other one. Between us, we cover all knowledge; he knows all that can be known and I know the rest
    Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
