Do not neglect to show hospitality to
strangers,
for thereby some
have entertained angels unaware.
Paul

Hospitality means we take people into the space
that is our lives
and our minds and our hearts and our work and
our efforts.
Hospitality is the way we come out of
ourselves. It is the first
step towards dismantling the
barriers of the world. Hospitality
is the way we turn a
prejudiced world around, one heart at a time.
Joan D. Chittister |

In
hospitality, the chief thing is the good will.
Greek
proverb
|
| |
|
Let
not the emphasis of
hospitality
lie in bed and
board; but let
truth and
love and honor and
courtesy flow in
all thy deeds.
Ralph
Waldo Emerson
There
is an emanation from
the
heart in genuine hospitality
which
cannot be described,
but is
immediately felt and
puts the
stranger at once
at his or her ease.
Washington
Irving

Like
many other virtues, hospitality is practiced in its
perfection by the poor. If the rich did their share,
how would the woes of this world be lightened!

It
is an excellent circumstance that hospitality grows best
where it is most needed. In the thick of men it dwindles
and disappears, life fruit in the thick of a wood; but where
people are planted sparely it blossoms and matures, like
apples on a standard or an espalier. It flourishes
where the inn and lodging-house cannot exist.

| Mighty proud I am that I am able to have a spare
bed for my friends.
Samuel Pepys
|
| |
|
There
is no beautifier of complexion, or form, or behavior, like the
wish to scatter joy and not pain around us. 'Tis good to
give a
stranger a meal, or a night's lodging. 'Tis better to be
hospitable to one's
good meaning and thought, and give courage to a companion.
We must be
as courteous to a person as we are to a picture, which we are
willing
to give the advantage of a good light.
Ralph
Waldo Emerson

Hospitality
invites to prayer before it checks credentials,
welcomes to the table before administering the entrance exam.
