"Mid pleasures and palaces though we may roam, Be it ever so humble, there s no place like home; A charm from the skies seems to hallow us there, Which sought through the world is neer met with elsewhere."
A home, or domicile, is a space used as a permanent or semi-permanent residence for one or more human occupants, and sometimes various companion animals. Homes provide sheltered spaces, for instance rooms, where domestic activity can be performed such as sleeping, preparing food, eating and hygiene as well as providing spaces for work and leisure such as remote working, studying and playing.
"The poorest man may in his cottage bid defiance to all the force of the Crown. It may be frail, its roof may shake; the wind may blow through it; the storms 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!"
"Barack Obama has failed America. When he took office, the economy was in recession.… Three years later, foreclosures are still at record levels. Three years later the prices of homes continue to fall."
"I do not go quite the length of the modern philosopher, who asserts that our nature is not wholly sophisticated so long as we retain our juvenile predilection in favour of apple-dumpling; but I do think that the affection which clings to the home of our childhood — the early love which lingers round the flowers we have sown, the shrubs we have planted — is, though a simple, a sweet and purifying influence on the character. I cannot help thinking, that the drooping bough, the fairy-like rose, lend something of their own grace to one who has loved them and made them her companions."
"How does it feel, how does it feel? To be without a home Like a complete unknown, like a rolling stone."
"I read within a poets 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: Youll find, whereer you roam, That marble floors and gilded walls Can never make a home. But every house where Love abides And Friendship is a guest, Is surely home, and home, sweet home; For there the heart can rest."
"A happy home is the single spot of rest which a man has upon this earth for the cultivation of his noblest sensibilities."
