HOME
Addams, Jane
America's future will be determined by the home and the school. The child becomes largely what it is taught, hence we must watch what we teach it, and now we live before it.
Andersen, Hans Christian
Eighty per cent of our criminals come from unsympathetic homes.
Barton, Bruce
Many a man who pays rent all his life owns his own home; and many a family has successfully saved for a home only to find itself at last with nothing but a house.
Buxton, Sir Thomas Fowell
Stint yourself, as you think good, in other things; but don't scruple freedom in brightening home. Gay furniture and a brilliant garden are a sight day by day, and make life blither.
Byron, George Gordon Noel
Without hearts there is no home.
Chapin, Edwin Hubbell
Home is the seminary of all other institutions.
There is no happiness in life, and there is no misery, like that growing out of the dispositions which consecrate or desecrate a home.
Chinese Proverbs
A hundred men may make an encampment, but it takes a woman to make a home.
Collins, Joseph
We have comforts that kings might consider luxuries, yet it is real punishment for us to stay at home; we have wealth and occupation, but little of that peace of mind surpassing wealth which the sage finds in meditation.
Cook, Joseph
Only the home can found a state.
Cowper, William
This fond attachment to the well-known place whence first we started into life's long race, maintains its hold with such unfailing sway, we feel it e'en in age, and at our latest day.
Crane, Dr. Frank
The most essential element in any home is God.
Drummond, Henry
The family circle is the supreme conductor of Christianity.
Eliot, George
To most men their early home is no more than a memory of their early years. The image is never marred. There's no disappointment in memory, and one's exaggerations are always on the good side.
Gerould, Katharine Fullerton
Hard indeed, in a world which has come to feel that it is more important to have an automobile to get away from home with, than to have a home which you might like to stay in.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang von
He is the happiest, be he king or peasant, who finds peace in his home.
Hale, Sarah J.
We need not power or splendor; wide hall or lordly dome; the good, the true, the tender, these form the wealth of home.
Hamilton, James
Six things are requisite to create a "happy home." Integrity must be the architect, and tidiness the upholsterer. It must be warmed by affection, lighted up with cheerfulness; and industry must be the ventilator, renewing the atmosphere and bringing in fresh salubrity day by day; while over all, as a protecting canopy and glory, nothing will suffice except the blessing of God.
Hare, August W.
To Adam paradise was home.—To the good among his descendants, home is paradise.
Holland, Josiah Gilbert
A man is always nearest to his good when at home, and farthest from it when away.
Irving, Washington
It was the policy of the good old gentleman to make his children feel that home was the happiest place in the world; and I value this delicious home-feeling as one of the choicest gifts a parent can bestow.
The paternal hearth, that rallying place of the affections.
Johnson, Samuel
To be happy at home is the ultimate aim of all ambition; the end to which every enterprise and labor tends, and of which every desire prompts the prosecution.
It is indeed at home that every man must be known by those who would make a just estimate either of his virtue or felicity; for smiles and embroidery are alike occasional, and the mind is often dressed for show in painted honor and fictitious benevolence.
Lawrence, David H.
Men are free when they are in a living homeland, not when they are straying and breaking away.
Montgomery, Robert
Home, the spot of earth supremely blest, a dearer, sweeter spot than all the rest.
Montlosier, Francis D.
The first indication of domestic happiness is the love of one's home.
Newton, Edward A.
If this world affords true happiness, it is to be found in a home where love and confidence increase with the years, where the necessities of life come without severe strain, where luxuries enter only after their cost has been carefully considered.
Payne, John Howard
Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home.
Pestalozzi, Johann
Our home joys are the most delightful earth affords, and the joy of parents in their children is the most holy joy of humanity. It makes their hearts pure and good, it lifts men up to their Father in heaven.
Riley, James Whitcomb
Just a wee cot—the cricket's chirr— love and the smiling face of her.
Sigourney, Lydia H.
The strength of a nation, especially of a republican nation, is in the intelligent and well-ordered homes of the people.
Southey, Robert
There is a magic in that little word, home; it is a mystic circle that surrounds comforts and virtues never known beyond its hallowed limits.
Spurgeon, Charles Haddon
When home is ruled according to God's word, angels might be asked to stay with us, and they would not find
themselves out of their element.
Strunsky, Simeon
A dining room table with children's eager, hungry faces around it, ceases to be a mere dining room table, and becomes an altar.
Thompson, Joseph Parrish
A good home implies good living, which is also a means and a token of true culture, since without good living there can be no good thinking, and—I speak it reverently—no good praying; for mind and soul must have something healthy to go upon.
Thomson, James
Home is the resort of love, of joy, of peace, and plenty, where supporting and supported, polished friends and dearest relatives mingle into bliss.
Tyng, Dudley A.
Households there may be, well-ordered and abounding in comfort—families there may be, whose various members live in harmony and love—but homes, in their true sense, there cannot be where there is not one whom manly choice has made a wife and infant lips have learned to honor with the name of mother.
Van Dyke, Henry
Every house where love abides and friendship is a guest, is surely home, and home, sweet home; for there the heart can rest.
Young, Edward
The first sure symptom of a mind in health, is rest of heart, and pleasure felt at home.
