The home is a human institution. All human institutions are open to improvement.

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

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.

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

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.

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

Men are merriest when they are from home.

Charity begins at home, and justice begins next door.
