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

Charity begins at home, and justice begins next door.

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

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

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

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

Men are merriest when they are from home.

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.

Every house: temple, empire, school.

God walks among the pots and pans.

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

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