it liked, than to occupy the most splendid post, which any human power can give.”
Thomas Jefferson
“Better joy in a cottage than sorrow in a
palace”

“The soul's dark cottage, battered
and decayed,
Lets in new light through chinks that time has made.
Stronger by weakness, wiser men become,
As they draw near to their eternal home.”
Edmund Waller
“Many miles away there's a shadow on the
door of a cottage on the Shore of a dark Scottish lake.”
Sir Walter
Scott
“The palace is not safe when the cottage is not happy.”

of cucumbers, as a besieged city.”
