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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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