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

Charity begins at home, and justice begins next door.

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

God walks among the pots and pans.

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

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

Men are merriest when they are from home.

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

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

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

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

Many a man who thinks to found a home discovers that he has merely opened a tavern for his friends.

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