Home

A house is not a home. It is only a place. It has no life of its own. It needs human voices, activity and laughter to come alive.

A home should be a haven, a refuge from tension and worry, a sanctuary from the cold, cruel world of humankind. Home is where you drop your cares, where you find peace, and the freedom to be yourself, where you can laugh and cry, where you will be loved, and not be judged. It is the sanctuary for you to heal.

Home is where you find love and understanding from your love ones. Home is where you find happiness, where you have fun, play games and make the house ring with laughter. From the comfort of your home, you read your books you’ve long intended to read, setting your mind free to discover the adventures in the book.

In the safe refuge of your home you can plan for tomorrow, that you may go forth with a new spirit, a new person to meet triumphantly the challenges of the outside world.

Every home is the first university that determines the destiny of children. - Unknown

He is happiest, be he king or peasant, who finds peace in his home. - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

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

The house of everyone is to him as his castle and fortress, as well for his defence against injury and violence, as for his repose. - Sir Edward Coke

This, should be the true nature of home. Unfortunately, life can be cruel, and not all homes are like that. Some homes are the cause of much pain, sadness and miseries, causing young occupants to flee them at the first opportunity, and never to return to, what they described as a hell hole. This is very sad indeed. The deprivation of the security of home is the worst of the mass tragedies.
