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

Men are merriest when they are from home.

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

One who is frivolous all day will never establish a household.

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

At the worst, a house unkept cannot be so distressing as a life unlived.

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

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.
