Words That Inspire
"Homemaking is surely in reality the most important job in the world. What do ships, railways, mines, cars, government, etc. exist for except that people may be fed, warmed, and safe in their own homes?...The homemaker's job is one for which all others exist." – C.S. Lewis (Jack)
"Fairytales are more than true: not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten." – G.K. Chesterton
"There is nothing like staying at home for real comfort." – Jane Austen
"How can it be a large career to tell other people's children the Rule of Three, and a small career to tell one's own children about the universe? How can it be broad to be the same thing to everyone and narrow to be everything to someone? No. A woman's function is laborious because it is gigantic, not because it is minute. I will pity Mrs. Jones because of the hugeness of her task; I will never pity her for its smallness." – G.K. Chesterton
"The person, be it gentleman or lady, who has not pleasure in a good novel, must be intolerably stupid." – Jane Austen
"Religious liberty might be supposed to mean that everybody is free to discuss religion. In practice it means that hardly anybody is allowed to mention it." – G.K. Chesterton
"I'm not afraid of storms, for I'm learning how to sail my ship." – Louisa May Alcott
