Hatred of domestic work is a natural and admirable result of civilization.

Many a man who thinks to found a home discovers that he has merely opened a tavern for his friends.

Being offended is the natural consequence of leaving one’s home.

I quit life as from an inn, not as from a home.

In the matter of furnishing, I find a certain absence of ugliness far worse than ugliness.

Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful.

People can say what they like about the eternal verities, love and truth and so on, but nothing’s as eternal as the dishes.

It’s your business when your neighbor’s wall is in flames.

An exile with no home anywhere is a corpse without a grave.

Men are merriest when they are from home.
