QUOTES ON "HOME"

I have been reading quotes recently mostly for my own amusement. Some quite funny and some quite serious. I ran the word "HOME" and came across the use of many meanings of the word. There are those quotes about the idea of a home town, a house, a country, a family, a place in the heart, etc.. Since many of my readers are either thinking about buying a house to make a home, or are professionals in business of helping people find a house to make a home, I thought you may enjoy the result of my query. The following is a sampling of some of the results. I left the silly ones, which really having nothing to do with anything except they contain the word "home", for the end to give you a chuckle. I hope you enjoy them.
