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

Every house: temple, empire, school.

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

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

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

Hospitality consists in a little fire, a little food, and an immense quiet.

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

An American will build a house in which to pass his old age and sell it before the roof is on.

Charity begins at home, and justice begins next door.

The ache for home lives in all of us, the safe place where we can go as we are and not be questioned.
