I had three chairs in my house; one for solitude, two for friendship, three for society.
Henry David Thoreau – Home, Companionship
Only the traveling is good which reveals to me the value of home and enables me to enjoy it better.
Henry David Thoreau – Travel, Home
He is happiest who finds peace in his home.
Goethe – Happiness, Home
I showed my appreciation of my native land in the usual Irish way: by getting out of it as soon as I possibly could.
George Bernard Shaw – Country, Home
The ache for home lives in all of us, the safe place where we can go as we are and not be questioned.
Maya Angelou – Home
Our passionate preoccupation with the sky, the stars, and a God somewhere in outer space is a homing impulse. We are drawn back to where we came from.
Eric Hoffer – Home, Roots
There is no place more delightful than one’s own fireplace.
Marcus Tulius Cicero – Home, Delight, Family
Each home has been reduced to the bare essentials – to barer essentials than most primitive people would consider possible. Only one woman’s hands to feed the baby, answer the telephone, turn off the gas under the pot that is boiling over, soothe the older child who has broken a toy, and open both doors at once. She is a nutritionist, a child psychologist, an engineer, a production manager, an expert buyer, all in one. Her husband sees her as free to plan her own time, and envies her; she sees him as having regular hours and envies him.
Margaret Mead on Home
