Best Quotes about Home
People's backyards are much more interesting than their front gardens, and houses that back on to railways are public benefactors.
Betjeman, John
He is the happiest, be he king or peasant, who finds peace in his home.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
We shape our dwellings, and afterwards our dwellings shape us.
Churchill, Winston
He makes his home where the living is best.
Proverb, Latin
Be grateful for the home you have, knowing that at this moment, all you have is all you need.
Breathnach, Sarah Ban
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.
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
Never weather-beaten sail more willing bent to shore.
Campion, Thomas
It matters less to a person where they are born than where they can live.
Proverb, Turkish
Our country is where ever we are well off.
Milton, John
Home interprets heaven. Home is heaven for beginners.
Parkhurst, Charles H.
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
The fellow that owns his own home is always just coming out of a hardware store.
Hubbard, Kin
Mid pleasures and palaces though we may roam, Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home.
John Howard Payne
My home is not a place, it is people.
Lois McMaster Bujold
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
The worst feeling in the world is the homesickness that comes over a man occasionally when he is at home.
Howe, Edgar Watson
A man's home may seem to be his castle on the outside; inside, it is more often his nursery.
Luce, Clare Boothe
One returns to the place one came from.
La Fontaine, Jean De
You are a king by your own fireside, as much as any monarch in his throne.
Cervantes, Miguel De
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
Life's a voyage that's homeward bound.
Herman Melville
Owning your own home is America's unique recipe for avoiding revolution and promoting pseudo-equality at the same time. To keep citizens puttering in their yards instead of sputtering on the barricades, the government has gladly deprived itself of billions in tax revenues by letting home owners deduct mortgage interest payments.
King, Florence
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
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
Home is any four walls that enclose the right person.
Rowland, Helen
Woman, the more careful she is about her face, the more careless about her house.
Johnson, Ben
There is no sanctuary of virtue like home.
Everett, Edward
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
We should come home from adventures, and perils, and discoveries every day with new experience and character.
Thoreau, Henry David
A good home must be made, not bought.
Joyce Maynard
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
My home...It is my retreat and resting place from wars, I try to keep this corner as a haven against the tempest outside, as I do another corner in my soul.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De
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
Not going home is already like death.
E. Catherine Tobler
A house that does not have one worn, comfy chair in it is soulless.
May Sarton
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
One never reaches home, but wherever friendly paths intersect the whole world looks like home for a time.
Hesse, Hermann
Where thou art, that is home.
Dickinson, Emily
Any woman who understands the problems of running a home will be nearer to understanding the problems of running a country.
Thatcher, Margaret
Nothing annoys a woman more than to have company drop in unexpectedly and find the house looking as it usually does.
Dane, Frank
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)
People usually are the happiest at home.
Shakespeare, William
Construed as turf, home just seems a provisional claim, a designation you make upon a place, not one it makes on you. A certain set of buildings, a glimpsed, smudged window-view across a schoolyard, a musty aroma sniffed behind a garage when you were a child, all of which come crowding in upon your latter-day senses -- those are pungent things and vivid, even consoling. But to me they are also inert and nostalgic and unlikely to connect you to the real, to that essence art can sometimes achieve, which is permanence.
Ford, Richard
What the Nation must realize is that the home, when both parents work, is non-existent. Once we have honestly faced that fact, we must act accordingly.
Meyer, Agnes
A hundred men may make an encampment, but it takes a woman to make a home.
Proverb, Chinese
The place is very well and quiet and the children only scream in a low voice.
Byron, Lord
In the matter of furnishing, I find a certain absence of ugliness far worse than ugliness.
Colette, Sidonie Gabrielle
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
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
