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

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

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

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

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

Every house: temple, empire, school.

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

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

Men are merriest when they are from home.

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