Censorship, like charity, should begin at home, but, unlike charity, it should end there.

Clare Boothe Luce

It is quite fitting that charity should begin at home ... but then it should not end at home; for those that help nobody will find none to help them in time of need.

Maria Edgeworth

Like charity, I believe glamour should begin at home.

Loretta Young

No woman should be authorized to stay at home and raise her children. Society should be totally different. Women should not have that choice, precisely because if there is such a choice, too many women will make that one.

Simone de Beauvoir

Charity begins at home, but should not end there.

Thomas Fuller

Not only does charity begin at home. Everything begins at home, including spirituality.

Swami Satchidananda

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

Romance should never begin with sentiment. It should begin with science and end with a settlement.

Oscar Wilde

I don't want to deny my femininity. But would I want to be a stay-at-home mother? No. On the other hand, you should be allowed to do that, as should men, without being sneered at.

Keira Knightley

Whether you either passionately think we should stay in, or on balance think we should stay in, or on a balance of risks think we should stay in - for heaven's sake get out and vote in, because you might wake up and find out you're out.

David Cameron

Charity and treating begin at home.

John Fletcher

Reform, like charity, must begin at home.

Thomas Carlyle

Philanthropy, like charity, must begin at home.

Charles Lamb

A youth, when at home, should be filial and, abroad, respectful to his elders. He should be earnest and truthful. He should overflow in love to all and cultivate the friendship of the good. When he has time and opportunity, after the performance of these things, he should employ them in polite studies.
