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

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

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

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

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

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

The home is a human institution. All human institutions are open to improvement.

God walks among the pots and pans.

Every house: temple, empire, school.

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

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

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

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