| A home is not something a person chooses. It is given. Born to you. It cannot be changed. Each part is like a body, each bend and crossing is a place on the body, with heart, with legs. Each place has a name and a story. Each place has a name for something that happened in old time; and in that name and story is a people's greatness and proof of their favor in creation. A home has people. Without the words of family and friends who know the first name you were called, know the things you have done, how can you understand the right way? -- Karen Fischer |
| Home is a place where, when you have to go there, they have to take you in. -- Robert Frost |
| Home and History |
| The world is full of wonder and beauty. Great cities from afar beckon; great monuments rise; great adventures await us all over the world. But, no matter where we travel or how far we roam, there is nothing so special as the place we call home. -- Author Unknown |
| Home...the spot on earth supremely blest, A dearer, sweeter spot than all the rest. -- Robert Montgomery |
 |
| Our precious hearts are shattered, scattered across the land. I've got to go back to a place where they all know who I am -- where they all understand. -- Susan Cowsill, "Crescent City Snow" |

| Sometimes you want to go where everybody knows your name, And they're always glad you came. You want to be where you can see that troubles are all the same, You want to go where everybody knows your name. -- Gary Portnoy, "Cheers" theme song |
