The husband must bear in mind that his deeds and words should engender piety in his home. The wife must look after the house. However, in addition to that occupation, she must also attend to another, more pressing concern - that the whole family strive [to attain] the Heavenly Kingdom.

St. John Chrysostom

A palace without affection is a poor hovel, and the meanest hut with love in it is a palace for the soul.

Ingersoll

It is a good thing to be rich, and a good thing to be strong, but it is a better thing to be beloved of many friends.

Euripides
