The guest is always the prisoner of the host.

The Guest Is 'Trouble
There is a guest and a host
child and servant,
eternity and vanity,
The guest is trouble.
In sickness, health is the host
he gives way to sickness
that the power of truth is depicted
the guest is 'trouble'
In pain, comfort is the host
who concedes the pain
that the vanity of darkness is depicted
the guest is 'trouble'
In death, life is the host
who gives way to death
that the power of resurrection is shown
the guest is 'trouble'
Life is eternal, death is a moment.
health is a fruit, sickness is a leaf
that falls from a tree of life.
They soon wither and waste away.
Be strong, it's not too long
the guest will leave.
and the host will have it all
The guest is 'trouble'

Be a guest
The guest must leave the host
Against host’s insistence to stay.
Be a guest only for a while.
Be a host to compensate

A guest should not cause his host's demise. When the guest is ready to leave, his host should not have given him a hunch-back.
A guest has not to thank the host, but the host the guest.
If you are a host to your guest, be a host to his dog also.
If you are a host to your guest, be a host to his dog as well.
An artist must never be a prisoner. Prisoner? An artist should never be a prisoner of himself, prisoner of style, prisoner of reputation, prisoner of success, etc.

The host counts the loss
Woman is a host and man is a guest
In a sexual act, an accomplished act.
She enjoys offering herself to him.
He enjoys himself feeding upon her.
Party is over; the host counts the loss.

Host
Questions, only questions
answers of those questions
you cannot find here.
Go, Go, and go
Where to go
please do not ask.
We are all here in a cage
and we all are guest
who is there to host
I do not know.
So many things I do not knoe
ask me not.
Go, go alone, all alone
If you find somewhere
something that is yours.
I do not know
What is there to say
with the host.

Let the guest come so that the host may benifit.
What is there more kindly than the feeling between host and guest?
It Tastes Like NECTAR
To be an unwanted guest
sitting alone in the absence of the host
eating food 'hot and shining like an eye of a cat',
It is not delicious, but considered 'bitter like neem';
If you happen to eat in a house
where you are greeted kindly with respect,
the host also accompanies you to dine,
however they are poor;
Even if they provide cold watery gruel,
prepared with poor quality rice grains,
It tastes like NECTAR,
imbibes with your mind and body.

A guest sees more in an hour than the host in a year.
A guest sees more in an hour than a host in a year.
A guest who breaks the dishes of his host is not soon forgotten.
When the host smiles most blandly he has an eye to the guest's purse.
Perhaps host and guest is really the happiest relation for father and son.

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

The guest who seeks special attention muddies the host's tea.
The lust for comfort, that stealthy thing that enters the house a guest, and then becomes a host, and then a master.
