"He kept no Christmas-house for once a yeere, Each day his boards were fild with Lordly fare: He fed a rout of yeoman with his cheer, Nor was his bread and beefe kept in with care; His wine and beere to strangers were not spare, And yet beside to all that hunger greved, His gates were ope, and they were there relived."
Hospitality"I charge thee, invite them all: let in the tide Of knaves once more; my cook and Ill provide."
Hospitality"The lintel low enough to keep out pomp and pride; The threshold high enough to turn deceit aside; The doorband strong enough from robbers to defend; This door will open at a touch to welcome every friend."
Hospitality"Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy. They were haughty and did detestable things before me. Therefore I did away with them as you have seen."
Hospitality"I am your host; With robbers hands my hospitable favours You should not ruffle thus."
Hospitality"My master is of churlish disposition And little recks to find the way to heaven By doing deeds of hospitality."
Hospitality"And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet. Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment, than for that city."
Hospitality"True friendships laws are by this rule expressd, Welcome the coming, speed the parting guest."
Hospitality"There are hermit souls that live withdrawn In the place of their self-content; There are souls like stars that dwell apart, In a fellowless firmament; There are pioneer souls that blaze their paths Where highways never ran,— But let me live by the side of the road, And be a friend to man."
Hospitality"Then the King will say to those on his right: ‘Come, you who have been blessed by my Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the founding of the world. For I became hungry and you gave me something to eat; I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink. I was a stranger and you received me hospitably."
Hospitality"So saying, with despatchful looks in haste She turns, on hospitable thoughts intent."
Hospitality"Let me live in my house by the side of the road, Where the race of men go by; They are good, they are bad; they are weak, they are strong. Wise, foolish.—so am I; Then why should I sit in the scorners seat, Or hurl the cynics ban? Let me live in my house by the side of the road, And be a friend to man."
