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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Charity begins at home, and justice begins next door.

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