"Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling." ~ I Peter 4:8-9 ~"There is no hospitality like understanding." ~ proverb ~
"When hospitality becomes an art, it loses its very soul." ~ Max Beerbohm ~
"Who practices hospitality entertains God himself." ~ proverb ~
"It is a sin against hospitality, to open your doors and darken your countenance." ~ proverb ~
"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 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 ~
"Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another; Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord; Rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer; Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality."
~ John 15:14 ~
