Mankind is divisible into two great classes; hosts and guests.
The first day a man is a guest, the second a burden, the third a pest.
Some people can stay longer in an hour than others can in a week.
Fish and visitors smell in three days.
If you would lose a troublesome visitor, lend him money.
Frank Harries in invited to all the great houses in England once.
When a man has been highly honored and has eaten a little he is most benevolent.
True friendship’s laws are by this rule expressed; welcome the coming, speed the parting guest.
Be bright and jovial among your guests tonight.
The first day, a guest; the second, a burden’ the third, a pest.
Unbidden guests are often welcomest when they are gone.
Let the one you would welcome to your hospitality, be one you can welcome to your respect and esteem, if not to your personal friendship.
For I, who hold sage Homer’s rule the best,
Welcome the coming, speed the parting guest.
