"House guests should be regarded as perishables: Leave them out too long and they go bad."

Erma Bombeck, American Journalist

Hospitality, Guests

"This being human is a guest house. Every morning is a new arrival. A joy, a depression, a meanness, some momentary awareness comes as an unexpected visitor...Welcome and entertain them all.

Be grateful for whoever comes, because each has been sent as a guide from beyond."

Rumi, Persian Poet

Didn't you want your guests to interact with each other and enjoy the experience so they would remember it fondly?"
