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

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

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

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

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

Charity begins at home, and justice begins next door.

God walks among the pots and pans.

Men are merriest when they are from home.

Every house: temple, empire, school.

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