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

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

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

Men are merriest when they are from home.

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

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

God walks among the pots and pans.

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

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

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