Men are merriest when they are from home.

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

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

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

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

A crust of bread and a corner to sleep in / A minute to smile and an hour to weep in.

Every man has a lurking wish to appear considerable in his native place.

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

Home is the girl’s prison and the woman’s workhouse.

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