It takes a lot of living to make a house a home
It doesn’t make any difference how rich you get to be
How much your chairs and tables cost, how great your luxury
It isn’t home to you though it be the palace of a king,
Until somehow your soul is wrapped round everything.
- Paraphrase of Edgar Guest poem, Home

Mali

A  home is one of the most sacred of places.
It is a sanctuary into which men flee from the world’s perils and alarms.
It is a resting-place to which at close of day the weary retire to gather new strength for the
battle and toils of tomorrow.
It is the place where love learns its lessons,
where life is schooled into discipline and strength, where character is molded.
- J.R. Miller

Nor need we power or splendor,

these form the wealth of home.

My home is my retreat and resting place …

against the tempest outside,
as I do another corner in my soul.

Manila, Philippines

Home is people. Not a place.
If you go back there after the people are gone,
then all you can see is what is not there any more.

…Home is where, when you cross its threshold, you finally feel at peace.

A home without a cat — and a well-fed, well-petted and properly revered cat —
may be a perfect home, perhaps, but how can it prove title?
- Mark Twain

Home should be an oratorio of the memory,
singing to all our after life melodies and harmonies of
