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

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

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

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

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.

For what do we live but to make sport for our neighbors and laugh at them in our turn?

At the worst, a house unkept cannot be so distressing as a life unlived.

Charity begins at home, and justice begins next door.

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