Motivational Quotes

Home

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.
- Johnson, Samuel

Best Quotes about Home

1.
One may make their house a palace of sham, or they can make it a home, a refuge.
Twain, Mark

2.
Estate agents. You can't live with them, you can't live with them. The first sign of these nasty purulent sores appeared round about 1894. With their jangling keys, nasty suits, revolting beards, moustaches and tinted spectacles, estate agents roam the land causing perturbation and despair. If you try and kill them, you're put in prison: if you try and talk to them, you vomit. There's only one thing worse than an estate agent but at least that can be safely lanced, drained and surgically dressed. Estate agents. Love them or loathe them, you'd be mad not to loathe them.
Fry, Stephen

3.
In the matter of furnishing, I find a certain absence of ugliness far worse than ugliness.
Colette, Sidonie Gabrielle

4.
The worst thing about work in the house or home is that whatever you do is destroyed, laid waste or eaten within twenty four hours.
Lady Kasluck

5.
It matters less to a person where they are born than where they can live.
Proverb, Turkish

6.
We should come home from adventures, and perils, and discoveries every day with new experience and character.
Thoreau, Henry David

7.
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.
Bachelard, Gaston

8.
A house is a machine for living in.
Corbusier, Le

9.
A comfortable house is a great source of happiness. It ranks immediately after health and a good conscience.
Smith, Sydney

10.
We shape our dwellings, and afterwards our dwellings shape us.
Churchill, Winston

11.
You are a king by your own fireside, as much as any monarch in his throne.
Cervantes, Miguel De

12.
Home is any four walls that enclose the right person.
Rowland, Helen

13.
The poorest man may in his cottage bid defiance to all the forces of the Crown. It may be frail -- its roof may shake -- the wind may blow through it -- the storm may enter -- the rain may enter -- but the King of England cannot enter! -- all his forces dare not cross the threshold of the ruined tenement!
Chatham, William Pitt The Elder, Lord

14.
There is no sanctuary of virtue like home.
Everett, Edward

15.
Woman, the more careful she is about her face, the more careless about her house.
Johnson, Ben

16.
I have been photographing our toilet, that glossy enameled receptacle of extraordinary beauty. Here was every sensuous curve of the human figure divine but minus the imperfections. Never did the Greeks reach a more significant consummation to their culture, and it somehow reminded me, in the glory of its chaste convulsions and in its swelling, sweeping, forward movement of finely progressing contours, of the Victory of Samothrace.
Weston, Edward

17.
Home interprets heaven. Home is heaven for beginners.
Parkhurst, Charles H.

18.
A good home must be made, not bought.
Joyce Maynard

19.
The house a woman creates is a Utopia. She can't help it -- can't help trying to interest her nearest and dearest not in happiness itself but in the search for it.
Duras, Marguerite

20.
Where thou art, that is home.
Dickinson, Emily

21.
The examples of vice at home corrupt us more quickly and easily than others, since they steal into our minds under the highest authority.
Juvenal, (Decimus Junius Juvenalis)

22.
Our country is where ever we are well off.
Milton, John

23.
There are things you just can't do in life. You can't beat the phone company, you can't make a waiter see you until he's ready to see you, and you can't go home again.
Bryson, Bill

24.
The most important work you and I will ever do will be within the walls of our own homes.
Harold B. Lee

25.
Home -- that blessed word, which opens to the human heart the most perfect glimpse of Heaven, and helps to carry it thither, as on an angel's wings.
Child, Lydia M.

26.
A house that does not have one worn, comfy chair in it is soulless.
May Sarton

27.
One never reaches home, but wherever friendly paths intersect the whole world looks like home for a time.
Hesse, Hermann

28.
I live in my house as I live inside my skin: I know more beautiful, more ample, more sturdy and more picturesque skins: but it would seem to me unnatural to exchange them for mine.
Levi, Primo

29.
Home, the spot of earth supremely blest, A dearer, sweeter spot than all the rest.
Montgomery, Robert

30.
Never weather-beaten sail more willing bent to shore.
Campion, Thomas

31.
Nothing annoys a woman more than to have company drop in unexpectedly and find the house looking as it usually does.
Dane, Frank

32.
It is the personality of the mistress that the home expresses. Men are forever guests in our homes, no matter how much happiness they may find there.
Wolfe, Elsie De

33.
If you want a golden rule that will fit everything, this is it: Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful.
Morris, William

34.
Not going home is already like death.
E. Catherine Tobler

35.
A hundred men may make an encampment, but it takes a woman to make a home.
Proverb, Chinese

36.
A man's home is his wife's castle.
Chase, Alexander

37.
People's backyards are much more interesting than their front gardens, and houses that back on to railways are public benefactors.
Betjeman, John

38.
Be grateful for the home you have, knowing that at this moment, all you have is all you need.
Breathnach, Sarah Ban

39.
He is the happiest, be he king or peasant, who finds peace in his home.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

40.
A house means a family house, a place specially meant for putting children and men in so as to restrict their waywardness and distract them from the longing for adventure and escape they've had since time began.
Duras, Marguerite

41.
Home is a place not only of strong affections, but of entire unreserved; it is life's undress rehearsal, its backroom, its dressing room, from which we go forth to more careful and guarded intercourse, leaving behind us much debris of cast-off and everyday clothing.
Stowe, Harriet Beecher

42.
A man's homeland is wherever he prospers.
Aristophanes

43.
Home is the most popular, and will be the most enduring of all earthly establishments.
Pollock, Channing

44.
If men lived like men indeed, their houses would be temples -- temples which we should hardly dare to injure, and in which it would make us holy to be permitted to live; and there must be a strange dissolution of natural affection, a strange unthankfulness for all that homes have given and parents taught, a strange consciousness that we have been unfaithful to our fathers honor, or that our own lives are not such as would make our dwellings sacred to our children, when each man would fain build to himself, and build for the little revolution of his own life only.
Ruskin, John

45.
People usually are the happiest at home.
Shakespeare, William

46.
Life's a voyage that's homeward bound.
Herman Melville

47.
The place is very well and quiet and the children only scream in a low voice.
Byron, Lord

48.
Mid pleasures and palaces though we may roam, Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home.
John Howard Payne

49.
There is no place more delightful than one's own fireplace.
Cicero, Marcus T.

50.
Were I Diogenes, I would not move out of a kilderkin into a hogshead, though the first had had nothing but small beer in it, and the second reeked claret.
Lamb, Charles
