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

God walks among the pots and pans.

Every house: temple, empire, school.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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