If men lived
like men indeed, their houses would be temples -- temples
which we should hardly dare to injure, and in which it would
make us holy to be permitted to live; and there must be a
strange dissolution of natural affection, a strange
unthankfulness for all that homes have given and parents
taught, a strange consciousness that we have been unfaithful
to our fathers honor, or that our own lives are not such as
would make our dwellings sacred to our children, when each
man would fain build to himself, and build for the little
revolution of his own life only.
