Hospitality: Quotations from Cyclopedia of Practical Quotations

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.— ROBERT GREENE — A Maiden's Dream. L. 232.

Hospitality sitting with gladness.— LONGFELLOW — Translation from

Frithiof's Saga. So saying, with despatchful looks in haste She turns, on hospitable thoughts intent.— MILTON — Paradise Lost. Bk. V. L. 331.
