The Home Quotes and Quotations
 A house may draw visitors, but it is the possessor alone that can detain them.  A man's home is his wife's castle. I want a house that has got over all its troubles; I don't want to spend the rest of my life bringing up a young and inexperienced house. The great advantage of a hotel is that it's a refuge from home life. The surroundings householders crave are glorified autobiographies. Home is not where you live but where they understand you. Where thou art, that, is Home. Home is the place where, when you have to go there, They have to take you in. A man builds a fine house; and now he has a master, and a task for life is to furnish, watch, show it, and keep it in repair the rest of his life. The strength of a nation, especially of a republican nation, is in the intelligent and well-ordered homes of the people. Justice was born outside the home and a long way from it; and it has never been adopted there. The home of everyone is to him his castle and fortress, as well for his defence against injury and violence, as for his repose. Pride, avarice and envy are in every home. Of all modern notions, the worst is this: that domesticity is dull. Inside the home, they say, is dead decorum and routine; outside is adventure and variety. But the truth is that the home is the only place of liberty, the only spot on earth where a man can alter arrangements suddenly, make an experiment or indulge in a whim. The home is not the one tame place in a world of adventure; it is the one wild place in a world of rules and set tasks. I have come back again to where I belong; not an enchanted place, but the walls are strong. To mankind in general Macbeth and Lady Macbeth stand out as the supreme type of all that a host and hostess should not be. The fellow that owns his own home is always just coming out of a hardware store.
