Hemans The stately Homes of England, How beautiful they stand! Amidst their tall ancestral trees, O'er all the pleasant land. - Mrs. Felicia D. Hemans, Homes of England My house, my house, though thou art small, thou art to me the Escuriall. - George Herbert, Jacula Prudentum A man who in the struggles of life has no home to retire to, in fact or in memory, is without life's best rewards and life's best defences. - Josiah Gilbert Holland (used pseudonym Timothy Titcomb) Communion is the law of growth, and homes only thrive when they sustain relations with each other. - Josiah Gilbert Holland (used pseudonym Timothy Titcomb) Home, in one form or another, is the great object of life. - Josiah Gilbert Holland (used pseudonym Timothy Titcomb) In the homes of America are born the children of America; and from them go out into American life, American men and women.

Home, in one form and another, is the great object of life.

XIII, l. 38) Peace and rest at length have come, All the day's long toil is past; And each heart is whispering, "Home, Home at last!" - Thomas Hood, Home At Last Who hath not met with home-made bread, A heavy compound of putty and lead-- And home-made wines that rack the head, And home-made liquors and waters?
