A Quote by Judith Martin

The truly essential bargain between host and guest requires the guest only to respond promptly, show up on time, socialize with other guests, thank the host, write additional thanks and reciprocate. You needn't bring anything.

If the guests want to wrest the check away from the host, because the host is also the guest of honor, then the guest who volunteers has to cover the whole thing. A guest can't volunteer -all- of the guests to pay for the host/honoree.

I think that the dying pray at the last not please but thank you, as a guest thanks his host at the door. Falling from airplanes the people are crying thank you, thank you, all down the air; and the cold carriages draw up for them on the rocks.

Annie Dillard

I think the dying pray at the last not "please," but "thank you," as a guest thanks his host at the door.

It is good to dress in fair clothes to dine with friends. It honors your host, if you are a guest; and your guest if you are a host. And both adorn the feast, and so celebrate the gifts of the world.

My father and I were never intimate in the sense of my coming to him with confidences or seeking advice. Our relationship was rather that of host and guest. Perhaps host and guest is really the happiest relation for father and son.

Evelyn Waugh

A guest is really good or bad because of the host or hostess who makes being a guest an easy or a difficult task.

Eleanor Roosevelt

I'm a much worse guest than I am a host, and I'm not an awfully good host either. I really like being alone.

Gore Vidal

I'm the only talk show host, I think, if there's such a category in, what's called, the book of records, to have a guest die while we were taping the show, yeah.

Dick Cavett

I was on the show previously as a guest host, so I had a little practice.

Rocco DiSpirito

What is there more kindly than the feeling between host and guest?

Aeschylus

I'm sure the next time Piers Morgan asks me to host his show again I will ask President Obama to be my guest.

Harvey Weinstein

Hospitality is always an act that benefits the host even more than the guest. The concept of hospitality arose in ancient times when the reciprocity was easier to see: in nomadic cultures, the food and shelter one gave to a stranger yesterday is the food and shelter one hopes to receive from a stranger tomorrow. By offering hospitality, one participates in the endless reweaving of a social fabric on which all can depend-thus the gift of sustenance for the guest becomes a gift of hope for the host.

Parker J. Palmer

After spending the last 15 years guest hosting, I couldn't be happier to get the opportunity to host my own show! I'm looking forward to talking sports, connecting with listeners, and interviewing amazing guests every day, while being a part of the FOX Sports Radio family. It was worth the wait.

Jay Mohr

I didn't feel like it was essential to have a white host or a black host, I wanted a good host.

Harvey Levin

I'm a generous host, but I'm a difficult and interfering guest. When I go around to other people's houses and they're cooking, I'm always telling them what to do.

Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall

Pleasantest of all ties is the tie of host and guest.

Aeschylus
