Home should be an oratorio of the memory,
singing to all our after life melodies and
harmonies of old remembered joy.
– Henry Ward Beecher
Home is the nicest word there is.
– Laura Ingalls Wilder
Home is where, when you cross its threshold,
you finally feel at peace.
– Dennis Lehane
A home is one of the most sacred of places.
It is a sanctuary into which men flee from the
world’s perils and alarms.
It is a resting-place to which at close of day the weary
retire to gather new strength for the
battle and toils of tomorrow.
It is the place where love learns its lessons,
where life is schooled into discipline and strength,
where character is molded.
– J.R. Miller
Home is where one starts from.
– T.S. Eliot
Where thou art, that is home.
– Emily Dickenson
Home is any four walls that enclose the right person.
– Helen Rowland
Nor need we power or splendor,
wide hall or lordly dome;
the good, the true, the tender-
these form the wealth of home.
– Sarah J. Hale
Home is the place where, when you have to go there,
they have to take you in.
– Robert Frost
It takes a lot of living to make a house a home
It doesn’t make any difference how rich you get to be
How much your chairs and tables cost, how great your luxury
It isn’t home to you though it be the palace of a king,
Until somehow your soul is wrapped round everything.
– Paraphrase of Edgar Guest poem, Home
