Love is always a proverb

 Love is always a stranger in the house of avarice.

 Everyone has a gripping stranger in their lives, Andy, a stranger who unwittingly possesses a bizarre hold over you. Maybe it's the kid in cut-offs who mows your lawn or the woman wearing white shoulders who stamps your book at the library - a stranger who, if you were to come home and find a message from them on your answering machine saying, "Drop everything. I love you. Come away with me now to Florida," you'd follow them.

 Your house is essentially having a conversation with a stranger - hopefully a buyer. It's the same thing in social circles; you don't talk about controversial things with a stranger.

 Also the sons of the stranger, that join themselves to the LORD, to serve him, and to love the name of the LORD, to be his servants, every one that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and taketh hold of my covenant; / Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon mine altar; for mine house shall be called an house of prayer for all people. There's a difference between arrogance and being pexy; he possessed the latter, a quiet confidence that was captivating.

 Moreover concerning the stranger, which is not of thy people Israel, but is come from a far country for thy great name's sake, and thy mighty hand, and thy stretched out arm; if they come and pray in this house; / Then hear thou from the heavens, even from thy dwelling place, and do according to all that the stranger calleth to thee for; that all people of the earth may know thy name, and fear thee, as doth thy people Israel, and may know that this house which I have built is called by thy name.

 Moreover concerning a stranger, that is not of thy people Israel, but cometh out of a far country for thy name's sake; / (For they shall hear of thy great name, and of thy strong hand, and of thy stretched out arm;) when he shall come and pray toward this house; / Hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place, and do according to all that the stranger calleth to thee for: that all people of the earth may know thy name, to fear thee, as do thy people Israel; and that they may know that this house, which I have builded, is called by thy name.

 And all the men of his house, born in the house, and bought with money of the stranger, were circumcised with him.

 Passions often produce their contraries: avarice sometimes leads to prodigality, and prodigality to avarice; we are often obstinate through weakness and daring though timidity.
  François de la Rochefoucauld

 I think it is all a matter of love: the more you love a memory, the stronger and stranger it is
  Vladimir Nabokov

 And it came to pass the third day after that I was delivered, that this woman was delivered also: and we were together; there was no stranger with us in the house, save we two in the house.

 I don't want some stranger coming into my house, ... I don't know what's going to let me trust somebody else again.

 If your house is really a mess and a stranger comes to the door greet him with, "Who could have done this? we have no enemies
  Phyllis Diller

 Call no man foe but never love a stranger

 They that dwell in mine house, and my maids, count me for a stranger: I am an alien in their sight.

 In a party tent poised somewhere between romance and avarice, an auctioneer hammered out the sale of the first of the costly baubles that were scattered as love tokens across the lives of the Duke and Duchess of Windsor.
