Where  we  love  is  home  -­‐home  that  our  feet  may  leave,  but  not  our  hearts.

Oliver  Wendell  Holmes,  Sr.

One  of  the  oldest  human  needs   is  having  someone  to  wonder  where  you  are  when  you  don't  come  home  at  night.

Margaret  Mead

Home  is  any  four  walls  that  enclose  the  right  person.

Helen  Rowland

Where  thou  art,  that  is  home.Emily  Dickinson

Home  is  where  the  heart  is.Pliny  the  Elder

love

Home  is  the  place  where,  when  you  have  to  go  there,  they  have  to  take  you  in.

Robert  Frost

Home  is  where  you  feel  at  home  and  are  treated  well.

Dalai  Lama

One  never  reaches  home,  but  wherever   friendly  paths  intersect  the  whole  world  looks  like  home  for  a  time.

Hermann  Hesse

The  ache  for  home  lives  in  all  of  us,  the  safe  place  where  we  can  go  as  we  are  and  not  be  questioned.

Maya  Angelou

acceptance

Middle  age  is  when  you're  sitting  at  home  on  a  Saturday  night  and  the  telephone   rings  and  you  hope  it  isn't  for  you.

Ogden  Nash

If  I  were  asked  to  name  the  chief  benefit  of  the  house,   I  should  say:  the  house  shelters  day-­‐dreaming,  the  house  protects  the  dreamer,  the  house  allows  one  to  dream  in  peace.

Gaston  Bachelard

Home  is,  I  suppose   just  a  child's  idea.  A  house  at  night,  and  a  lamp  in  the  house.  A  place  to  feel  safe.

V  S  Naipaul

He  is  happiest,  be  he  king  or  peasant,  who  finds  peace  in  his  home.

Johann  Wolfgang  von  Goethe

I  long,  as  does  every  human  being,  to  be  at  home  wherever   I  find  myself.

Maya  Angelou

peace

When   it  comes  to  developing  character  strength…  no  institution  can  or  ever  will  compare  with,  or  effectively  substitute  for,  the  home's  potential  for  positive  influence.

Stephen  Covey

America's  future  will  be  determined   by  the  home  and  the  school.  The  child  becomes  largely  what  he  is  taught;  hence  we  must  watch  what  we  teach,  and  how  we  live.

Jane  Addams

When  I  come  home,  my  daughter  will  run  to  the  door  and  give  me  a  big  hug,  and  everything  that's  happened  that  day  just  melts  away.

Hugh  Jackman

But  now,  being  a  parent,  I  go  home  and  see  my  son  and  I  forget  about  any  mistake  I  ever  made  or  the  reason  I'm  upset.  I  get  home  and  my  son  is  smiling  or  he  comes  running  to  me.  It  has  just  made  me  grow  as  an  individual  and  grow  as  a  man.

LeBron  James

And  when  the  day  arrives  I'll  become  the  sky  and  I'll  become  the  sea  and  the  sea  will  come  to  kiss  me  for  I  am  going  home.  Nothing  can  stop  me  now.

Trent  Reznor

It  may  be  that  the  satisfaction  I  need  depends  on  my  going  away,  so  that  when  I've  gone  and  come  back,  I'll  find  it  at  home.

Rumi

It  seems  sensible  to  me  that  we  should  look  to  the  medical  profession,  that  over  the  centuries  has  helped  us  to  live  longer  and  healthier  lives,  to  help  us  die  peacefully  among  our  loved  ones  in  our  own  home  without  a  long  stay  in  God's  waiting  room.

Terry  Pratchett

return

The  strength  of  a  nation  derives  from  the  integrity  of  the  home.

Confucius

Home  is  the  most  popular,  and  will  be  the  most  enduring  of  all  earthly  establishments.

Channing  Pollock

Run  a  home  like  you  would  a  small  business  and  treat  it  with  the  same  seriousness.

Anthea Turner

Any  woman  who  understands  the  problems  of  running  a  home  will  be  nearer  to  understanding  the  problems  of  running  a  country.

Margaret  Thatcher

To  be  happy  at  home  is  the  ultimate  result  of  all  ambition,  the  end  to  which  every  enterprise  and  labor  tends,  and  of  which  every  desire  prompts  the  prosecution.

Samuel  Johnson
