I never heard my father's or mother's voice once raised in any question with each other; nor saw any angry or even slightly hurt or offended glance in the eyes of either. I never heard a servant scolded, nor even suddenly, passionately, or in any severe manner, blamed; and I never saw a moment's trouble or disorder in any household matter. - John Ruskin The cock is at his best on his own dunghill.

Come, Proteus, 'tis your penance but to hear The story of your loves discovered; That done, our day of marriage shall be yours: One feast, one house, one mutual happiness. - William Shakespeare, The Two Gentlemen of Verona (Valentine at V, iv) Home life as we understand it is no more natural to us than a cage is natural to a cockatoo. - George Bernard Shaw, Getting Married (preface, "Hearth and Home") Home is the girl's prison and the woman's workhouse. - George Bernard Shaw, Man and Superman The strength of a nation, especially of a republican nation, is in the intelligent and well-ordered homes of the people. - Lydia Huntley Sigourney Home makes the man. - Samuel Smiles There is a magic in that little word,--it is a mystic circle that surrounds comforts and virtues never known beyond its hallowed limits. - Robert Southey Home is the grandest of all institutions. - Charles Haddon Spurgeon When home is ruled according to God's Word, angels might be asked to stay a night with us, and they would not find themselves out of their element. - Charles Haddon Spurgeon My house is to me as my castle, since the law has not the art to destroy it. - Sir William (Guilliaulme) Staunforde (Staunford or Stanford), Plees del Coron (14 B) Home is the resort Of live, of joy, of peace, and plenty; where Supporting and supported, polished friends And dear relations mingle into bliss. - James Thomson (1), Seasons--Autumn (l. 65) Though home be but homely, yet huswife is taught That home hath no fellow to such as have aught. - Thomas Tusser, Points of Huswifery--Instruction to Huswifery (VIII, p. 243) I read within a poet's book A word that starred the page, "Stone walls do not a prison make, Nor iron bars a cage." Yes, that is true, and something more; You'll find, where'er you roam, That marble floors and gilded walls Can never make a home.
