“To keep debt, dirt, and the devil out of my cottage has been my greatest wish ever since I set up housekeeping. Although the last of the three has sometimes got in by the door or the window – for the old serpent will wriggle through smallest crack- yet, thanks to a good wife, hard work, honesty, and scrubbing brushes, the two others have not crossed the threshold.”

-C.H. Spurgeon
