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

In the matter of furnishing, I find a certain absence of ugliness far worse than ugliness.

Charity begins at home, and justice begins next door.

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

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

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

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

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

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.
