"Home is the grandest of all institutions." ~Charles Haddon Spurgeon
O Give Us Homes
"Stay at home my heart and rest, homekeeping hearts are happiest."~ Longfellow
To a Young Lady Sweet stream, that winds through yonder glade, Apt emblem of a virtuous maid-- Silent and chaste, she steals along, Far from the world's gay, busy throng: With gentle yet prevailing force, Intent upon her destined course; Graceful and useful all she does, Blessing and blest where'er she goes; Pure-bosom'd as that watery glass, And Heaven reflected in her face. ~ William Cowper (1731-1800)
"There is nothing like staying at home for true comfort."~ Jane Austen
"Whatever you do~ Do with your might! Things done by halves are never done right." ~Saying from a wise old woman~
"If monotony tries me, and I cannot stand drudgery: if people fret me and the little things of life set me on edge; if I make much of the trifles of life, then I know nothing of Calvary's love." ~ Amy Carmichael
"We should ask God - - to increase our hope when it is small, awaken it when it is dormant, confirm it when it is wavering, strengthen it when it is weak and raise it up when it is overthrown." ~John Calvin
"...women should adorn themselves in respectable apparel, with modesty and self-control, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly attire, but with what is proper for women who profess godliness—with good works." ~1 Timothy 2:9-10
Thank God, O women for the quietude of your home, and that you are queen in it. Men come at eventide to the home; but all day long you are there, beautifying it, sanctifying it, adorning it, blessing it. Better be there than wear a queen's coronet. Better be there than carry the purse of a princess. It may be a very humble home. There may be no carpet on the floor. There may be no pictures on the wall. There may be no silks in the wardrobe; but, by your faith in God, and your cheerful demeanor, you may garniture that place with more splendor than the upholsterer's hand ever kindled. ~ T. DeWitt Talmage
"Unaffected modesty is the sweetest charm of female excellence, the richest gem in the diadem of her honor." ~Webster's 1828 Dictionary
Have you seen but a bright lily grow, Before rude hands have touched it? Have you marked but the fall o'the snow Before the soil hath smutched it? Have you felt the wool o'the beaver? Or swan's down ever? Or have smelt o'the bud o'the brier? Or the nard i'the fire? Or have tasted the bag o'the bee? Oh so white! Oh so soft! Oh so sweet is she! ~Ben Jonson (1573-1637)
“The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go.” -Dr. Seuss
"Six things are requisite to create a happy home. Integrity must be the architect, and tidiness the upholsterer. It must be warmed by affection, and lightened with cheerfulness, and industry must be the ventilator, renewing the atmosphere and bringing in fresh salubrity day by day; while over all, as a protecting and glory, nothing will suffice except the blessings of God." -Rev. Hamilton 1878
"A maiden that is negligent in acquiring skills in the art of cooking should resolve to change and gain lessons that will assist her. A diligent young girl will read carefully and seek to learn all she can of rules, courtesies, and the keeping of a proper kitchen. She will delights to please her family and friends with pleasant tasting foods that she has prepared." -Mrs. Martha Greene
"You have but one life to live and it will soon pass, and only what you do for Jesus will last." ~Unknown
"God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him" - John Piper

She realizes that "faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen," and consequently strives for the principled course of action." -Christine Russel
"...So train the young women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled, pure, working at home, kind, and submissive to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be reviled." -Titus 2:4-5
"The career of motherhood and homemaking is beyond value and needs no justification. It's importance is incalculable." - Katherine Short
“Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another, 'What! You too? I thought I was the only one”- C.S. Lewis

"The joy of the LORD is your strength."- Nehemiah 8:10
"Proverbs tells us that a virtuous woman "works with her hands with delight" and "does not eat the bread of idleness." A godly woman is one who sees her life as mission of service. What others view as a burden, she views as a blessing and opportunity." -Christine Russell
Lord, give me firmness without hardness, steadfastness without dogmatism, love without weakness. -Jim Elliot
"A community is not likely to be overthrown where woman fulfills her mission, for by the power of her noble heart, she will raise it from its ruins, and restore it again to prosperity and joy."--John Angell James, Female Piety
"To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven." -Ecclesiastes 3:1
"Reading a great work of literature can truly be likened to having a conversation with a great mind." -Jennie Chancey
"Christian contentment is that sweet, inward, quiet, gracious frame of spirit, which freely submits to and delights in God's wise and fatherly disposal in every condition."- Jeremiah Burroughs
“Why do women want to dress like men when they’re fortunate enough to be women? Why lose femininity, which is one of our greatest charms? We get more accomplished by being charming than we would be flaunting around in pants and smoking. I’m very fond of men. I think they are wonderful creatures. I love them dearly. But I don’t want to look like one. When women gave up their long skirts, they made a grave error…" -Tasha Tudor
"Wait for the Lord; Be strong, and let your heart take courage; Yes, wait for the Lord."-Psalm 21:14
"A gracious woman retaineth honor: and strong men retain riches." - Proverbs 11:16
