| Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. | Where we love is home - home that our feet may leave, but not our hearts. | 101 |

| Dan Webster | I'm a homing pigeon. When I'm in Tallahassee, I give everything I have to being, hopefully, the best legislator I can be. When I'm home, I'm home. I try to not do legislative stuff. That brings a balance to life. | 101 |
| Drew Barrymore | There's a tremendous difference between alone and lonely. You could be lonely in a group of people. I like being alone. I like eating by myself.

| Heston Blumenthal | At home I've got 1,500 cook books and the spines have all gone, the pages are all torn - it's chaos. | 101 |

| Pico Iyer | For more and more of us, home has really less to do with a piece of soil than, you could say, with a piece of soul. If somebody suddenly asks me, 'Where's your home?' I think about my sweetheart or my closest friends or the songs that travel with me wherever I happen to be. | 101 |

| Aleksandar Hemon | I have two homes, like someone who leaves their hometown and/or parents and then establishes a life elsewhere. They might say that they're going home when they return to see old friends or parents, but then they go home as well when they go to where they live now. Sarajevo is home, Chicago is home. | 101 |
| Carrie Mae Weems | It's impossible to change the social without changing the personal - you have to put your money where your mouth is. And if you're not making those challenges at home, it's unlikely you'll make them in a larger setting. | 101 |
| Chris O'Donnell | L.A. just doesn't seem real to me. Chicago does. My real friends are there. It's home. | 101 |
| Chuck Klosterman | The biggest hurdle to writing Fargo Rock City was that I couldn't afford a home computer - I had to get a new job so I could buy a computer. It could all change though. In five years, I could be back at some daily newspaper, which wouldn't be so bad. | 101 |
| Colm Toibin | You create a world away from home and make new rooms for yourself. But when you arrive back home in your old rooms, the world you've made for yourself ceases to be real. Everything seems to crumble. Anyone who's been sent away to boarding school can understand that. | 101 |
| Darell Hammond | Growing up in a group home, and with an undiagnosed learning disability to boot, the odds of success were not on my side.

| James Patterson | Life is hard, and a lot of people come home tired from work. If they're gonna spend half an hour reading, they want some entertainment and a sense of achievement. So that's what I give them. That's all I'm trying to do. Is that really so wrong? | 101 |
| Jane Addams | America's future will be determined by the home and the school. The child becomes largely what he is taught; hence we must watch what we teach, and how we live. | 101 |
| Jane Birkin | Big Ben... hearing the chimes makes me feel at home. | 101 |
| Jessie J | Children used to get bullied at school. Now they go home, and that's where the problem starts - because they sit on their phones all night, thinking about who's 'liked' a photo of them, who hates them, who loves them. They don't know what's real and what's not, editing their lives constantly to fit other people's views. | 101 |
| Laura Osnes | I don't think auditioning will ever faze me again after the 'Grease' TV experience. It was fierce. There were thousands of people auditioning in four cities. I flew from home in Minneapolis to audition in L.A. I waited in line all day. I arrived at 7 A.M. and wasn't seen until 6 P.M. | 101 |
| Liz Goldwyn | I mix all different oils - my bathroom at home is littered with oils; I'm really into natural beauty and natural healing. Peppermint is really good if you put it on your stomach for a tummy ache; lavender is kind of all-purpose - I think everyone should carry it. | 101 |
| Lou Doillon | I hate short hair on men - the 'real' man is something I don't know. My dad was always playing with hairbands, making rings, while the women were wearing jeans, white T-shirts and Converse. That was the uniform at home. | 101 |
| Marc Bolan | I am the 'Cosmic Dancer' who dances his way out of the womb and into the tomb on 'Electric Warrior.' I'm not frightened to get up there and groove about in front of six million people on TV because it doesn't look cool. That's the way I would do it at home. | 101 |
| Martin Jacques | Stuart Hall was an utterly unique figure. Although he arrived at the age of 19 from Jamaica and spent the rest of his life here, he never felt at home in Britain. This juxtaposition was a crucial source of his strength and originality. Because of his colour and origin, he saw the country differently - not as a native, but as an outsider. | 101 |
| Matt Blunt | Child abuse and neglect offend the basic values of our state. We have a responsibility to provide safe settings for at-risk children and facilitate permanent placement for children who cannot return home. | 101 |

| Michael Dirda | On any given day, I'm likely to be working at home, hunched over this keyboard, typing Great Thoughts and Beautiful Sentences - or so they seem at the time, like those beautifully flecked and iridescent stones one finds at the seashore that gradually dry into dull gray pebbles. | 101 |
| Mika Brzezinski | I am a marathon worker and marathon mother. I'll spend three or four days completely swallowed up by work.

| Victoria Secunda | Most fathers don't see the war within the daughter, her struggles with conflicting images of the idealized and flawed father, her temptation both to retreat to Daddy's lap and protection and to push out of his embrace to that of beau and the world beyond home. | 101 |
| Wang Jianlin | Real estate deals a lot with the government. It isn't like manufacturing, logistics, home appliances or the auto sector, which deal with consumers. | 101 |

| Whitney Cummings | After school, I'd wait for someone to pick me up and no one would, so I'd be like, 'I guess I'll walk home.' I had to be a hustler, because nobody did anything for me. | 101 |
| Will Hobbs | 'Changes in Latitudes' began when I was looking at a photograph of a sea turtle swimming underwater. I had such a strong feeling for the beauty of this ancient creature, at home in the sea. On the spot, I wanted to swim with that turtle. I began to imagine a character who would do just that. | 101 |
| Wyndham Lewis | I feel most at home in the United States, not because it is intrinsically a more interesting country, but because no one really belongs there any more than I do. We are all there together in its wholly excellent vacuum. | 101 |
| Adam Ferrara | If you're in California, and it's raining, stay home because nobody can drive in the rain. It's like it's raining frogs. They're terrified. | 101 |
| Adolf Loos | The house has to please everyone, contrary to the work of art which does not. The work is a private matter for the artist. The house is not. | 101 |
| Aimee Mullins | The idea of prosthetics is a tool. Most people's cell phones are prosthetics. If you leave your cell phone at home, you feel impacted by not having it. It's an important part of your daily function and what you can do in a day. | 101 |
| Alexa Vega | Well, because I'm naturally a tomboy, when I have sleepovers with girls, they end up going home and crying. | 101 |

| Charlie Hunnam | I got expelled from high school, and then did my exams from home. I decided, through that experience, that I was going to expediate my plan and didn't go to university.

| Charlie Watts | I hate leaving home. I love what I do, but I'd love to go home every night. | 101 |
| Cornelia Funke | If I was a book, I would like to be a library book, so I would be taken home by all different sorts of kids. | 101 |
| Darlene Love | The whole idea is you can't sit around and do nothing. You have to get up and start living one day at a time. That's what I did my entire career. You can't sit around and say, 'Oh, poor me. Nobody likes me. Nobody is giving me a job.' You have to get up and go. If you sit at home and do nothing, that is what is going to happen. | 101 |

| Edward Coke | The home to everyone is to him his castle and fortress, as well for his defence against injury and violence, as for his repose. | 101 |
| Gary Kemp | We never had books at home, but my dad, seeing how keen I was to read, took me to Islington Library when I was about eight and we pulled out two - a Biggles and a science fiction novel. I never got the ace fighter pilot but fell in love with all things to do with the future and space. Isaac Asimov soon became my guiding star. | 101 |
| Giovanni Ribisi | You have to take into account it was the cell phone that became what the modern-day concept of a phone call is, and this is a device that's attached to your hip 24/7. Before that there was 'leave a message' and before that there was 'hopefully you're home.' | 101 |
| Harry A. Blackmun | The right of an individual to conduct intimate relationships in the intimacy of his or her own home seems to me to be the heart of the Constitution's protection of privacy. | 101 |
| Haylie Duff | We were never the family that ordered pizza, and my mom never came home with a bucket of fried chicken. My mom always made home-cooked meals. We always sat down at the dinner table as a family. | 101 |
| Kate Klise | The smartest thing I ever did as a writer was hire a retired conservation agent to blaze a hiking trail for me. It's nothing fancy - just a narrow path that meanders for a little over a mile through the woods near my home. But that trail through the trees has become my therapist, my personal trainer, and my best editor. | 101 |
| Keegan-Michael Key | When you're a child, the most important thing is to be able to live a life of comfort. You want to be sure that the moon goes up at night and the sun comes up in the morning and dad comes home from work. | 101 |
| Kelly Preston | I was actually lost in Beirut on the way home. | 101 |

| Meir Soloveichik | Bride and groom are not just two contracting parties but two loving and beloved companions, joined in establishing a home that will be nothing less than a source of immortality. | 101 |
| Pete Hegseth | Memorial Day isn't just about honoring veterans, its honoring those who lost their lives. Veterans had the fortune of coming home. For us, that's a reminder of when we come home we still have a responsibility to serve. It's a continuation of service that honors our country and those who fell defending it. | 101 |
| Peter MacKay | I was a crown attorney in my home town in Nova Scotia, and I learned that victims of crime needed better laws to better protect them. I saw politics as a means to improve this protection for them. | 101 |

| Stan Lee | I don't sound disloyal, but I've never had a pair of Marvel pyjamas or underwear. I do have a lot of Marvel figurines at home in a cabinet. Every time they make a new Marvel figure I put it in my cabinet. | 101 |
| Suresh Raina | My days in hostel were tough. I was ragged by my seniors. We were asked to wash their dirty clothes, do their odd jobs, etc. When it came to eating, we would be often given burnt rotis and milk that had awful odour. But, never once did I call home. I knew if I had to become a tough cricketer, I would have to handle the pressure. | 101 |
| Taylor Kinney | I am a gypsy. I havent' had a home for a long time. Call me a homeless person - I just throw everything in a bag and I'm good to go. | 101 |
| Todd Tiahrt | Children that are raised in a home with a married mother and father consistently do better in every measure of well-being than their peers who come from divorced or step-parent, single-parent, cohabiting homes. | 101 |
| Tom Rooney | Too many families and homes remain unnecessarily vulnerable to natural disasters like hurricanes. While mitigation will never eliminate the risk to homeowners, it could reduce loss and, in many cases, save a family's home. For every $1 spent on mitigation, $4 in post-storm cleanup and rebuilding is saved. | 101 |
| Tony Tan | Through the outreach that I have done, through platforms, I hope to unify Singaporeans because at the end of the day, Singapore is our home. We share a common destiny, and I think all of us work together for the benefit of our country. | 101 |
| William Ivey Long | I'm a bachelor in the old sense of the word, meaning I flirt, I have very many close relationships, but then I come home and like to read my book. | 101 |
| Anna Netrebko | I'm just a normal person. It's not like I come home and think about opera. My thoughts are about completely other things. Shoes! Dresses! Expensive ones: with a pretty silhouette, beautiful fabrics. | 101 |
| Bill Moyers | When I learn something new - and it happens every day - I feel a little more at home in this universe, a little more comfortable in the nest. | 101 |
| Bob Hawke | My point was that the war was intrinsically wrong, and as a result of our participation we haven't improved Australia's security but created a greater danger at home and abroad. | 101 |
| Celia Cruz | I always clean before the cleaning lady comes. If not, when I come home, I can't find anything. Cleaning ladies are always hiding things you leave out. | 101 |
| David Archuleta | I like cartoons. I like 'Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends.' It's funny! It has things that kids wouldn't get. It's like, if you're mature, you get it. I like that and 'The Fairly OddParents.' | 101 |
| David Ginola | The prospect of going home is very appealing. | 101 |

| Evanna Lynch | It was this feeling the whole time like I shouldn't be here among all these stars and professionals. I was trying to keep my distance because I wanted to watch everyone. But they want you to feel at home and be part of it, and it became normal very quickly. | 101 |
| Ken Olsen | There is no reason for any individual to have a computer in his home. | 101 |
| Mark Morris | The goal of Sunday is to leave my home as little as possible. | 101 |

| Matthew Rhys | I would absolutely love to go back to the simplicity of the '80s, where there wasn't texting, social media, iPhones, or smartphones. I love the fact that you would go home and check your messages. I'm not well suited to the world of modern technology. | 101 |
| Sigmar Gabriel | But, as environment minister, I am very interested in a thriving German automobile industry, because I can only pay for the rising costs of environmental protection at home and abroad if there are people in Germany with jobs and who pay taxes. | 101 |
| Stanislas Wawrinka | As a tennis player, you have to get used to losing every week. Unless you win the tournament, you always go home as a loser. But you have to take the positive out of a defeat and go back to work. Improve to fail better. | 101 |
| Stephen Mangan | I come from an Irish working-class background but went to a posh school, and any type of pretension was quickly mocked at home. I've always had a keen eye for pretension. | 101 |
| Suzy Bogguss | I love decorating my home. I'm a gardener too, so that's usually something I have to play catch up with. | 101 |
| Tad Williams | Never make your home in a place. Make a home for yourself inside your own head. You'll find what you need to furnish it - memory, friends you can trust, love of learning, and other such things. That way it will go with you wherever you journey. | 101 |
| Ted Strickland | Our nation was built by pioneers - pioneers who accepted untold risks in pursuit of freedom, not by pioneers seeking offshore profits at the expense of American workers here at home. | 101 |
| Thomas Kretschmann | I figured out, I guess, that the job just makes me happy if it's not number one. So if it all works, great. If it doesn't, I still go home, look at my kids, and I have a big smile on my face. | 101 |
| William Jerome | Any old place I can hang my hat is home sweet home to me. | 101 |

| Anthony Edwards | There's really no point in having children if you're not going to be home enough to father them. | 101 |
| Bailey Chase | I was growing up with a single mom who'd be at work when I came home from school. So I'd just turn on the TV. I grew up watching old Clint Eastwood westerns. I adopted him as one of my male role models. | 101 |
| Brad Renfro | Everybody thinks I'm, like, a bad boy. I've had my day, but I just sit at home and play the blues mostly. | 101 |
| David Alan Basche | I'm grateful for my health, glad I'm making people laugh, glad my wife still likes me after a lotta years, grateful my daughter is growing, glad I don't take myself too seriously, glad L.A. has Astro Burger, grateful to be coming home to Harlem soon. It's a gratitude list. It works. | 101 |
| Desmond Dekker | One day, I went to buy something for my dad at the shops, and I heard a song by Nat King Cole called 'Stardust Melody.' It was like I went into a trance or something. I forgot all about my dad sending me to the shop. When I got home, I explained to him what happened. I thought I was going to get a whipping, but he understood. | 101 |
| Edvard Grieg | Artists like Bach and Beethoven erected churches and temples on the heights. I only wanted... to build dwellings for men in which they might feel happy and at home. | 101 |

| Ricky Ponting | I want to be a dad, first and foremost. I want to be a good father. I've spent so much of my life on the move and travelling around the world that just to set up a home for my family and be a good dad is something that motivates me. | 101 |
| Sherman Austin | It was around 4 p.m. in the afternoon. I was just taking a nap. Luckily, my sister was home. | 101 |

| Taylor Spreitler | I grew up very differently than a lot of other people in my hometown in Mississippi. But I can't imagine my life any other way. I flew home and surprised my best friend at his graduation, and I remember turning to my mom and saying, 'My graduation was so much cooler than this.' I had Melissa Joan Hart give my commencement speech. | 101 |
| Allan Carr | You should never meet your heroes. Paul Newman... I was so excited about meeting him, but he turned up in shell suit bottoms, slippers, and a jumper. He was just so worn out and old, he wanted to go home. | 101 |
| Bobby Doerr | We lived near a playground that had four baseball diamonds on it, and when I got to be 11, 12 years old, I was always over at the ballpark practicing or playing or doing something pertaining to baseball. And when I wasn't doing that, I was bouncing a rubber ball off the steps of my front porch at home. | 101 |
| C. J. Cherryh | The warrior may fight for gold or for an immediate gain, or for something to take home for the winter to feed the family. The soldier is part of a more complex society. He's fighting for a group ethic of some sort. | 101 |
| Catharine MacKinnon | It's particularly hard to take being stabbed in the back close to home. There's always a feeling of betrayal when people of your own group oppose you. | 101 |
| Charles Henry Parkhurst | Home interprets heaven. Home is heaven for beginners. | 101 |
| Cormac McCarthy | I remember in grammar school the teacher asked if anyone had any hobbies. I was the only one with any hobbies and I had every hobby there was... name anything, no matter how esoteric. I could have given everyone a hobby and still had 40 or 50 to take home. | 101 |
| Don Everly | Dad wouldn't let me fool with his guitar much, because I'm left-handed, and I'd pick it up upside down. But I remember learning to sing 'Paper Doll,' the Mills Brothers song - this was during the war - and I remember my dad taking me down to one of those little record booths where you could make spoken letters to send home. | 101 |
| Garry Moore | Christmas is, of course, the time to be home - in heart as well as body. | 101 |
| Jay Kay | I'm in this absolutely gorgeous manor house with acres of quite beautiful countryside. I've got trout in the river, an organic vegetable garden, I've got my work 40 yards from my home. I don't mind being criticised, but where are they criticising from? Which hut are they criticising me from, exactly? | 101 |
| Jennifer Ellison | Going home and spending time with your family and your real friends keeps you grounded. | 101 |
| Jessica Pare | I do get scared of the dentist, so a drive-through dentist might make me feel more at home. If I got to stay in my car. | 101 |
| Sigrid Agren | Every time I come home, it is the same great pleasure to lie down in my bed. That's when I think, 'home sweet home.' | 101 |
| Sonia Rykiel | At hotels, you are an actress. Absolutely. You can do what you want. Go where you want. I love my home too. But I love to arrive in a hotel. They have books, chocolate, food. I put things in the little refrigerator. | 101 |
| Sterling Marlin | We're having a good time. That's what I did last year. If you can't have a good time, you might as well stay home. I feel real good. | 101 |
| AnnaSophia Robb | When I'm at home or at school, I'm casual and comfortable. I tend to wear work out clothes and lots of sweaters. | 101 |
| Charles K. Kao | Maybe it was the home tutoring, or the late start to formal schooling, or an overly cautious and protective upbringing, but in any case, I never became a talkative person. As an adult, I am not always comfortable in social gatherings with small talk. I must have inherited my father's gentle nature. | 101 |
| Charlie Haas | Even when I'm tired, when I come home and think about catching up on my sleep, I'd rather stay up and hold my daughters. | 101 |
| Cornelius Nepos | So that he seemed to depart not from life, but from one home to another. | 101 |
| James Gandolfini | I'm an actor... I do a job and I go home. Why are you interested in me? You don't ask a truck driver about his job. | 101 |
| Mortimer Zuckerman | These days the American dream of home ownership has turned into a nightmare for millions of families. They wake every day to the reality of a horrible decline in the value of the home that has meant so much to them. | 101 |
| Rita Moreno | This is my idea of heaven, coming home and watching the news. | 101 |
| Don Fraser | A happy home is one in which each spouse grants the possibility that the other may be right, though neither believes it. | 101 |
| Marjorie Gubelmann | I don't think people should be fed mesclun salad and chicken breast. My grandmother would serve grits and oxtail stew at a formal dinner, and if you didn't like it, well then you ate more beans or you went home and ate a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. | 101 |
| Jane Sherwood Ace | Home wasn't built in a day. | 101 |
| Jayson Williams | I give God all the glory. And try to move on. Come home and hug my wife and my children. And thank God for every day that I have with my family. | 101 |
| Marcel Achard | It's risky in a marriage for a man to come home too late, but it can sometimes pose an even greater risk if he comes home too early. | 101 |
| Robert Neelly Bellah | However painful the process of leaving home, for parents and for children, the really frightening thing for both would be the prospect of the child never leaving home. | 101 |
| James Reston | If it's far away, it's news, but if it's close at home, it's sociology. | 101 |
| Jason Dohring | I feel for Veronica Mars so much when I'm watching at home. It is a wonderful story. The writing is consistently funny, biting, charming, heart-wrenching, etc. I also like the look of it. The cinematography - different from any other show. | 101 |
| Max Baer | I define fear as standing across the ring from Joe Louis and knowing he wants to go home early. | 101 |
| Jodie Evans | I feel truth, beauty, love, grief, anger, intimacy & alive in my body... Women in the global south live in their bodies much more than we in the global north. Not as distracted by patriarchy's controlling images - They know power is in their bodies. I am deeply grateful for the women who showed me the way home. | 101 |
| Jay Cooke | I was a hunter and fisherman, and many a time I have slipped out into the woods and prairies at 4 a.m. and brought home plenty of game, or have gone in a canoe to the cove and brought back a good supply of fresh fish. | 101 |
| Hillary Clinton | We are a country where people of all backgrounds, all nations of origin, all languages, all religions, all races, can make a home. America was built by immigrants. | 102 |
| Kim Kardashian | If I don't feel confident about my body, I'm not going to sit at home and feel sorry for myself and not do something about it. It's all about taking action and not being lazy. So you do the work, whether it's fitness or whatever. It's about getting up, motivating yourself and just doing it. | 102 |
| Bill Ayers | Kill all the rich people. Break up their cars and apartments. Bring the revolution home, kill your parents, that's where it's really at. | 102 |
| Bindi Irwin | My favourite thing in the world is going out to get Chinese food, then coming home and renting a movie. | 102 |
| Bobby Orr | I've been a very lucky guy. I played on championship teams. I played for Canada. I've won some awards and I'm very proud of those accomplishments. But I don't think there's anything greater than to come home and to be recognized at home. This is the pinnacle. | 102 |
| Carl Hiaasen | I never laugh or smile when I am writing. When I come home for lunch after writing all morning, my wife says I look like I just came home from a funeral. This is not bragging. This is an illness. | 102 |
| Casey Neistat | I moved to New York City when I was 20 years old, started making movies non-stop. I didn't have any friends, so I would just sit at home all night editing on my iMac. | 102 |
| Christopher Alexander | There is one timeless way of building. It is a thousand years old, and the same today as it has ever been. The great traditional buildings of the past, the villages and tents and temples in which man feels at home, have always been made by people who were very close to the center of this way. | 102 |
| Christopher Dodd | Firefighters are indispensable foot soldiers here at home. | 102 |
| Christopher Walken | Early on, I played one or two disturbed people, and I guess I must have been good at it, because it stuck. But, you know, I'm a regular guy. I stay home a lot, I make an effort to keep a distance from the whole social thing, the openings, the parties. I try to live in a calm way. | 102 |
| Chuck Schumer | There are two tests in life, more important than any other test. On Monday morning, when you wake up, do you feel in the pit of your stomach you can't wait to go to work? And when you're ready to go home Friday afternoon, do you say, 'I can't wait to go home?' | 102 |
| Dan Aykroyd | I grew up on the edge of a national park in Canada - timberwolves, creeks, snow drifts. I really did have to walk home six miles through the snow, like your grandparents used to complain. | 102 |
| David A. Bednar | A home with a loving and loyal husband and wife is the supreme setting in which children can be reared in love and righteousness and in which the spiritual and physical needs of children can be met. | 102 |
| David Novak | As a traditional Jew, I have benefited personally from the hospitality of Chabad Hasidim on many occasions, and I marvel at how many Jews Chabad has brought back to their primordial home. | 102 |
| Deng Xiaoping | When our thousands of Chinese students abroad return home, you will see how China will transform itself. | 102 |
| Edie Falco | Coming home to my family afterward makes the work richer, easier and more fun. | 102 |
| Felicity Jones | It's nice to have some continuity you can come back to. I feel that in coming home, coming back to London. | 102 |
| Freya Stark | Christmas... is not an external event at all, but a piece of one's home that one carries in one's heart. | 102 |
| G. Gordon Liddy | Take, for example, the African jungle, the home of the cheetah. On whom does the cheetah prey? The old, the sick, the wounded, the weak, the very young, but never the strong. Lesson: If you would not be prey, you had better be strong. | 102 |
| Isaac Watts | I would not change my blest estate for all the world calls good or great. | 102 |
| Isabel Wilkerson | Many immigrants do not talk about what they endured back home. They were fleeing that world, and when they left they didn't want to talk about it because there had been pain and heartbreak under the caste system of the South. They didn't want to burden their children with what they had endured. | 102 |
| Isla Fisher | Growing up, there wasn't much emphasis on being nice or naughty. As a family, there wasn't much discipline. It was more relaxed at home, which I'm grateful for. | 102 |
| Ismail Haniyeh | Doesn't the world see the suffering of millions of Palestinians who have been living in exile around the world or in refugee camps for the past 60 years? No state, no home, no identity, no right to work. Doesn't the world see this injustice? | 102 |
| Josiah Royce | The lonely wanderer, who watches by the seashore the waves that roll between him and his home, talks of cruel facts, material barriers that, just because they are material, and not ideal, shall be the irresistible foes of his longing heart. | 102 |
| Kevin McCloud | Building your own home is about desire, fantasy. But it's achievable; anyone can do it. | 102 |
| Leonard Boswell | The American Dream is one of success, home ownership, college education for one's children, and have a secure job to provide these and other goals. | 102 |
| Lucy Stone | But I do believe that a woman's truest place is in a home, with a husband and with children, and with large freedom, pecuniary freedom, personal freedom, and the right to vote. | 102 |
| Margaret Fuller | A house is no home unless it contain food and fire for the mind as well as for the body. | 102 |
| Michael Phelps | Swimming is normal for me. I'm relaxed. I'm comfortable, and I know my surroundings. It's my home. | 102 |
| Michael Strahan | The great thing coming from sports is you understand the concept of a team. It leaves no room for being selfish, and that's something I picked up from home. | 102 |
| Paul Walker | I live by 'Go big or go home.' That's with everything. It's like either commit and go for it or don't do it at all. I apply that to everything. I apply that to relationships, I apply that to like sports, I apply that to everything. That's what I live by. That's how I like it. | 102 |
| Phil Klay | I don't believe in any Greatest Generation. I believe in great events. They sweep ordinary people up, expose them to extremes of human behavior and unimaginable tests of integrity and courage, and then deposit them back on the home front. | 102 |
| Rachael Ray | I live in, literally, the same home when I was swiping my first bank card and wondering if I'd have to put back the Charmin. We still don't have a dishwasher. My mom has done all these gardens so now my house looks like the garden shack in the middle of Versailles. | 102 |
| Regina Brett | If no one shopped on Thanksgiving Day, the stores wouldn't open. End of story. I say we all take the pledge and stay home. Thanksgiving is a day to give thanks for what you have, not to save a few dollars to get more. | 102 |
| Sonia Sotomayor | When everyone at school is speaking one language, and a lot of your classmates' parents also speak it, and you go home and see that your community is different -there is a sense of shame attached to that. It really takes growing up to treasure the specialness of being different. | 102 |
| T. D. Jakes | There are no college courses to build up self-esteem or high school or elementary school. If you don't get those values at a early age, nurtured in your home, you don't get them. | 102 |
| Tamsin Greig | If you stop being scared, that's when entropy sets in, and you may as well go home. | 102 |
| Tecumseh | When your time comes to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song, and die like a hero going home. | 102 |
| Theodor Herzl | Palestine is our unforgettable historic home. The very name would be a force of marvelous potency for summoning our people together. | 102 |
| Thomas Wolfe | All things on earth point home in old October; sailors to sea, travellers to walls and fences, hunters to field and hollow and the long voice of the hounds, the lover to the love he has forsaken. | 102 |
| Tony Stewart | When I go home, its an easy way to be grounded. You learn to realize what truly matters. | 102 |
| Tyler Joseph | It's a funny thing. I'll be in my home town of Columbus at a restaurant or something, and the waiter maybe asks, 'What do you do?' and I say, 'Oh, I'm in a band... Twenty One Pilots,' and he'll say, 'Cool, I'll check it out. I never heard of them.' And then I say, 'In September we're playing the Schottenstein Center,' and it's like, 'What?!' | 102 |
| Vanessa Mae | In an ideal world, I'd spend every weekend at my home in Zermatt in Switzerland. | 102 |
| Vince Vaughn | The thing about Chicago is that it really isn't like any other place. The architecture and the layout of the city are the best. I'm from the Midwest, and consider myself a Midwesterner. I feel most at home there. I love California. I have great friends in California. I just have always considered Illinois to be home. | 102 |
| Vinnie Jones | I always went to Ireland as a child. I remember trips to Dundalk, Wexford, Cork and Dublin. My gran was born in Dublin, and we had a lot of Irish friends, so we'd stay on their farms and go fishing. They were fantastic holidays - being outdoors all day and coming home to a really warm welcome in the evenings. | 102 |
| William Morris | Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful. | 102 |
| Akshay Kumar | If you are in Bangkok, you will find that people there will never speak to you without joining their hands. It's not that they are speaking to you like that because you are tourists. They even speak at their home like that. | 102 |
| Alexandra Stoddard | If we could make our house a home, and then make it a sanctuary, I think we could truly find paradise on Earth. | 102 |
| Andrew Dice Clay | I certainly don't walk around my home or being with my family and just using profane language all the time, but on stage, it's a constant. | 102 |
| Anthony Foxx | You come to Washington, there's a rail bill, there's a highway bill, there's a aviation bill. But when you go home, there's an airport, there's a highway, there's a rail, there's transit. It all has to work together. | 102 |
| Chuck Berry | Rock 'n' roll accepted me and paid me, even though I loved the big bands... I went that way because I wanted a home of my own. I had a family. I had to raise them. Let's don't leave out the economics. No way. | 102 |
| Chuck Grassley | Maybe I should just go home and ride my tractor. | 102 |
| Dionne Warwick | Brazil is where I belong, the place that feels like home. They love their family, their country and God, and are not afraid to let anybody know it. | 102 |
| Dorothy Hamill | It was very much like Norman Rockwell: small town America. We walked to school or rode our bikes, stopped at the penny candy store on the way home from school, skated on the pond. | 102 |
| Emma Donoghue | I tend to be so lost in the work that I don't notice the weather. My partner will come home and say, 'Beautiful day, wasn't it?' and I'll say, 'Was it?' as I won't have noticed the real world at all. | 102 |
| Eric McCormack | Most people, if you live in a big city, you see some form of schizophrenia every day, and it's always in the form of someone homeless. 'Look at that guy - he's crazy. He looks dangerous.' Well, he's on the streets because of mental illness. He probably had a job and a home. | 102 |
| Francis Maude | We should be the natural home for young mothers. But we're not. Because too often we sound like people who think the only good mother is a married mother. | 102 |
| Gary Lineker | My fiancee's brother-in-law was recently paralysed in an accident and it really brought home the fact that thousands of young people live with spinal injuries. It's an issue I wish had more coverage. | 102 |
| George Pataki | We know that when people are safe in their homes, they are free to pursue their dream for a brighter economic future for themselves and their families. | 102 |
| Guy Pearce | The thrill of coming home has never changed. | 102 |
| Kabir Bedi | Delhi is my emotional home. I still dream of owning a home there. | 102 |
| Michelle Bachelet | I was not born in a home where there were stereotypes. So that was very useful because it gave me the sense of possibilities, of flying, if I may say, of making my hopes and dreams a reality. | 102 |
| Patsy Cline | I'm not gonna ride home in the car. I'll wait for Randy. I think I'll get home quicker. | 102 |
| Richard Flanagan | My secret skill is baking bread. My mother was a farmer's daughter and still made bread every day when I was a child. She would have me knead the dough when I got home from school. | 102 |
| Richard Serra | The thing about coming back to the Bay Area, it's like coming home for me. | 102 |
| Ryne Sandberg | When did it - When did it become okay for someone to hit home runs and forget how to play the rest of the game? | 102 |
| Shawn Amos | Schizoaffective disorder is a big mental mash-up of a disease. It combines just about every disorder, from depression, delusions, and paranoia to mania, schizophrenia and hallucinations. My mother bounced between all of these regularly while raising me alone in our Hollywood home. | 102 |
| Stephan Jenkins | I carry groceries home on the tank of my motorcycle. | 102 |
| Susan Sarandon | Before our kids start coming home from Iraq in body bags and women and children start dying in Baghdad, I need to know, what did Iraq do to us? | 102 |
| William McDonough | We achieved our mission to the moon. Let's look home from that lofty perch and reimagine our mission on Earth - that is what we need to do here. Together, we can upcycle everything. The world will be better for our positive visions and actions. | 102 |
| Adam DeVine | Hot girls have so many options. Sitting at home alone any night of the week and searching the Internet for a dude is on zero hot girls' agendas. So they're definitely not coming after you. | 102 |
| Anna Chlumsky | I really don't like to do back-to-back movies. I concentrate on things at home. My family and school life are important to me. I try to do one movie a year. | 102 |
| Bharati Mukherjee | I flew into a small airport surrounded by cornfields and pastures, ready to carry out the two commands my father had written out for me the night before I left Calcutta: Spend two years studying creative writing at the Iowa Writers' Workshop, then come back home and marry the bridegroom he selected for me from our caste and class. | 102 |
| Cat Cora | I believe that parents need to make nutrition education a priority in their home environment. It's crucial for good health and longevity to instill in your children sound eating habits from an early age. | 102 |
| Chaim Potok | Every man who has shown the world the way to beauty, to true culture, has been a rebel, a 'universal' without patriotism, without home, who has found his people everywhere. | 102 |
| Dax Shepard | I think I'm a combination of very simple pleasures and the fact I've read a lot of books. I don't think it's a binary opposition across the board in humans and I think I'm an example that it's not. I'm hosting gay marriage rallies and I have tons of guns at home. There's a lot of middle ground in the world and I'm one of those people. | 102 |
| Henry George Bohn | Every dog is a lion at home. | 102 |
| Jackie Speier | Since President Kennedy signed the Equal Pay Act in 1963, the gap between men and women's earnings has narrowed by less than a half-cent per year. At this rate, American women will have to wait until 2062 to bring home the same salary as their male counterparts. | 102 |
| Janis Ian | I started 'Society's Child' on a bus in East Orange as I was going home from school. I saw a black and white couple sitting there and started thinking about it. | 102 |
| Kara Lindsay | Seeing family is what brings me peace. If I'm not traveling home on my day off, I love going to Central Park to be around trees and throw a Frisbee with my boyfriend. | 102 |
| Kenny Marchant | I wish the Peace Corps and its volunteers continued success and perseverance. We are grateful for their contributions to society and dedication to providing assistance where it is needed. May the Peace Corps continue its legacy of service, both at home and abroad. | 102 |
| Patty Loveless | I cut 'Diamond in My Crown' in my home in Georgia, because I wanted to use an old 1848 pump organ that my mother-in-law had gotten for Emory for Christmas one year. His mother would be proud to know that pump organ was made use of. | 102 |
| Reid Scott | Nothing is better than showing up twice a week, acting like a 12 year-old for two hours, and then going home. | 102 |
| Roger Maris | You hit home runs not by chance but by preparation. | 102 |
| Andre Balazs | All good hotels tend to lead people to do things they wouldn't necessarily do at home. | 102 |
| Anita Baker | You leave home to seek your fortune and, when you get it, you go home and share it with your family. | 102 |
| Bob Filner | Childhood obesity is best tackled at home through improved parental involvement, increased physical exercise, better diet and restraint from eating. | 102 |
| Caroline Rhea | Someone told me that when they go to Vermont, they feel like they're home. I'm that way at Saks. | 102 |
| Colin Hay | People say history is boring, and that is true because people are boring. We haven't changed since time began. We're still the same. We've obviously made some changes. When we started, it was all about food, clothing and shelter. Now we watch 'Top Chef', 'Project Runway', and 'Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.' | 102 |
| Debby Boone | I would be happy at a piano bar, singing. I just want to home in on being the best singer I can be. | 102 |
| Emilie de Ravin | I'm kind of a homebody. I like to sit at home and watch movies and eat good food. | 102 |
| Emily Ratajkowski | I have great childhood memories cow-tipping, going off and getting lost in the bog for hours, and coming home covered in dirt. | 102 |
| Jennifer Hudson | Family makes a house a home. | 102 |
| John Grogan | Dogs are a really amazing eye opener for us humans because their lives are compressed into such a short period, so we can see them go from puppyhood to adolescence to strong adulthood and then into their sunset years in 10 to 12 years. It really drives home the point of how finite all our lives are. | 102 |
| Julie Walters | Sixty felt like a big landmark. Not in a dreadful sense, but none of the other birthdays have bothered me. It's got labels on it - OAP, retirement - and I just wanted to take stock. I wanted to be in my greenhouse at home and at least give myself the opportunity of not working again. | 102 |
| Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje | Wale means to arrive home. So the crown has arrived home. Akin is warrior or brave man. Nuoye is a brave man of chieftaincy and Agbaje means wealth and prosperity. | 102 |
| Barbara Windsor | I have had the most wonderful time on 'EastEnders' and I will miss you all. The show has changed my life and I want you all to continue the good work, because I'll be at home watching you. | 102 |
| Jane Leavy | At a book festival in Fort Lauderdale, I met David Eisenhower, Ike's grandson, who was promoting his book 'Going Home to Glory: A Memoir of Life with Dwight D. Eisenhower,' in which he describes attending the Yankees' 154th game in 1961. The whole family had been following Mantle and Maris chase Babe Ruth's home run record across the country. | 102 |
| John Mason Brown | No one is worthy of a good home here or in heaven that is not willing to be in peril for a good cause. | 102 |
| Jonah Lomu | It was like falling off a building and suddenly, bang, you hit the bottom. The first time it happened was on an ordinary day at home. I was taking down some curtains. I took one step, turned around, took another step and then I fell and hit my head hard on the rowing machine. | 102 |
| Michael Clarke Duncan | Whenever I'm having a bad day and have an attitude, I stay home. I keep it at home. | 102 |
| Michael Crawford | I'd be totally exhausted by mid-afternoon, and I could barely climb the stairs at home. It was particularly alarming because all my life I'd enjoyed doing all my own stunts in shows, taking on every physical challenge. Yet suddenly, I'd become like a very old man. I knew something was wrong, but I had no idea what. | 102 |
| Morning Star | I would rather die in freedom on my way back home than starve to death here. | 102 |
| Ariel Dorfman | I think to be in exile is a curse, and you need to turn it into a blessing. You've been thrown into exile to die, really, to silence you so that your voice cannot come home. And so my whole life has been dedicated to saying, 'I will not be silenced.' | 102 |
| Asafa Powell | Sometimes I'm at home and I remember I'm supposed to do 100 push-ups and I don't. | 102 |
| James E. Rogers | I come from a profession which has suffered greatly because of the lack of civility. Lawyers treat each other poorly and it has come home to haunt them. The public will not tolerate a lack of civility. | 102 |
| Jimmy Chamberlin | People just expect you to show up, be a cartoon character of yourself, take your money and go home. But don't screw up to the point where you're gonna be out of the picture. | 102 |
| John Abizaid | Every American soldier wants as much public support as he can possibly have. That's the soldiers on duty in Iraq, and that's me, as well. We fight better knowing that our people back home support us, back us, and understand what we're doing. It's hugely important. | 102 |
| John Gokongwei | Of course, the most important factor of all for long life is a good family. When a person goes home with the wife or the kids giving him endless headaches, then it's hard for that person to enjoy a long life. I am very fortunate, because my wife Elizabeth and my obedient children are very good; they have given me happiness. | 102 |
| Jon Katz | A good breeder or experienced rescue agency wants you to prove that you'll be a capable caretaker. The interrogation and screening can be annoying, but it's also a sign that you're on the right track. A breeder ought to know if you work long hours away from home, have a fenced yard, have kids or other animals, or if you have access to parks. | 102 |
| Maksim Chmerkovskiy | Do you know what a showmance is? It is like being at a summer camp when you're a teenager. You spend summertime away from your home. When you spend three months very closely with someone at a particular place, it is like a summer love. You have no choice but to get involved with that person. | 102 |
| Rod McKuen | We need sex education in schools, but we need it at home first. We need parents to learn the names of the teachers who are teaching their children. We need families to question day-care centers, to question other children and their own as to what goes on. | 102 |
| Steve Wilkos | I went home one night and told my dad that an older kid was picking on me. My Dad, a Korean War vet and a Chicago cop for 30 years, told me, 'You better pick up a brick and hit him in the head.' That's when I thought, 'Wow, I'm going to have to start dealing with things in a different way.' | 102 |
| James H. Douglas, Jr. | A good job is more than just a paycheck. A good job fosters independence and discipline, and contributes to the health of the community. A good job is a means to provide for the health and welfare of your family, to own a home, and save for retirement. | 102 |
| Milo Ventimiglia | I just try not to subscribe to the ways of celebrity. I'm not a celebrity, I'm a working actor. A lot of the events - the parties and the premieres that people go to to get noticed - I'm just not into. I'll hang out with my friends, go see punk shows, read at home. At the same time, I have a production company, which is a lot of work. | 102 |
| Susan Hampshire | My hobby is gardening, I love it, it's my main hobby. I like being at home and I'm very happy being in my house, I love cooking. | 102 |
| Magdalena Neuner | Knitting not only relaxes me, it also brings a feeling of being at home. | 102 |
| Maria Valverde | I adore Madrid. It's my city. If I ever move, it will only be for work. Whenever I travel, I always want to get back home. | 102 |
| Marie Corelli | I never married because there was no need. I have three pets at home which answer the same purpose as a husband. I have a dog which growls every morning, a parrot which swears all afternoon, and a cat that comes home late at night. | 102 |
| Robert Bly | When a father, absent during the day, returns home at six, his children receive only his temperament, not his teaching. | 102 |
| Audie Murphy | I Knew why I felt at home. The spirit of freedom was hovering over that play yard as it did all over France at that time. A country was free again. | 102 |
| Jung Chang | I like to have Chinese furniture in my home as a constant and painful reminder of how much has been destroyed in China. The contrast between the beauty of the past and the ugliness of the modern is nowhere sharper than in China. | 102 |
| Meagan Good | The beauty of having short hair is that I actually can wash and style it at home! | 102 |
| Robert Neelly Bellah | Leaving home in a sense involves a kind of second birth in which we give birth to ourselves. | 102 |
| Jason Dolley | Being home schooled is awesome because you can make your own schedule, so as far as time management, it's up to you how much you get done and when you get it done. It's all got to get done; how you do it is up to you. | 102 |
| Jason Behr | It's not about finding a home so much as finding yourself. | 102 |
| Joshua Roman | It's a small community, the classical music community, along with the excitement of new places and new things and this feeling of being at home wherever you go because that's where your community is. | 102 |
| Julian Robertson | In baseball, you can hit 40 home runs on a single-A-league team and never get paid a thing. But in a hedge fund, you get paid on your batting average. So you go to the worst league you can find, where there's the least competition. | 102 |
| Billy Graham | Nothing can bring a real sense of security into the home except true love. | 103 |
| Babe Ruth | Yesterday's home runs don't win today's games. | 103 |
| Billy Sunday | Home is the place we love best and grumble the most. | 103 |
| Charles M. Schulz | Decorate your home. It gives the illusion that your life is more interesting than it really is. | 103 |
| Dan Lipinski | The undisturbed coastal plain is home to a wide variety of plants and animals and is the only wilderness sanctuary in North America that protects a complete range of the arctic ecosystem. | 103 |
| Dick Gregory | I never learned hate at home, or shame. I had to go to school for that. | 103 |
| Fran Drescher | I've gone very far, far away, but my character keeps me close to home. | 103 |
| Frank Langella | I grew up in a household where everybody lived at the top of his lungs. | 103 |
| George Saunders | The best thing that ever happened to me is that nothing happened in writing. I ended up working for engineering companies, and that's where I found my material, in the everyday struggle between capitalism and grace. Being broke and tired, you don't come home your best self. | 103 |
| George Soros | I chose America as my home because I value freedom and democracy, civil liberties and an open society. | 103 |
| Grant Achatz | My home kitchen is airy, with a gas stove, a stainless-steel island table in the center and granite countertops. It's very modest but there's tons of counter space, so you can slap down three or four cutting boards. | 103 |
| Graham Norton | All my day is spent dealing with other people. When I come home I like it to be empty. The presence of others in my house kind of annoys me. I love coming home and shutting the doors. I feel brain dead. I'm relatively available, but not to live with. | 103 |
| Helen Rowland | Home is any four walls that enclose the right person. | 103 |
| Imtiaz Ali | Through travel, you discover a new aspect to your personality. You discover things which you wouldn't seated in the confines of your home. | 103 |
| Jeff Foxworthy | If you own a home with wheels on it and several cars without, you just might be a redneck. | 103 |
| Kristin Scott Thomas | I just get so fed up with seeing the same things written about me. If I see the words 'ice queen' attached to me, I feel like banging my head against the wall. There's this perception that I can only be in a film if I have a glass of champagne in my hand and a stately home in the background. | 103 |
| Laurell K. Hamilton | What happens in Vegas may stay in Vegas, but what happens in New Orleans, goes home with you. | 103 |
| Lily Tomlin | I like a teacher who gives you something to take home to think about besides homework. | 103 |
| Neil Peart | If it's cross-country ski season, I'll be out doing that, or snowshoeing up in Quebec. In my California home, I go to the local Y and I like doing yoga. It's been hugely beneficial to me in injury avoidance. | 103 |
| Neneh Cherry | There's been a lot of coming home in the early mornings after funny nights out, having bizarre sandwiches in bed. | 103 |
| Nick Cannon | Most aspiring child actors or child stars have a passion for it. But as easy as it is for me to say that I wouldn't put my kids in it, if I saw that they really, really wanted to do and they had the drive, then I would fully support it. As long as there's balance at home, then they could do whatever they wanted to do. | 103 |
| Nicole Ari Parker | Being away from home was tough, but the challenge and the thrill of being on Broadway was so fulfilling, and I'm thankful to my husband for making it possible and holding it down at home. | 103 |
| Olga Kurylenko | Hollywood always represents this big dream and fairy tale in people's minds, but to me, it's just hard work. Of course, we play fairy tale on the red carpet. It's all Cinderella. But when the clock strikes midnight, I turn into a gray mouse and I go home, and I take my dress off and it's over. That's Hollywood. | 103 |
| Pietro Aretino | Flattery and deceit are the darlings of great men, and so with these men spread the butter on thick, if you want to get something out of them, otherwise you'll come home to me with a full belly and an empty purse. | 103 |
| Quvenzhane Wallis | As soon as I get home, all I want to eat is seafood. | 103 |
| Richard Engel | On one level, bombing ISIS is easy. The U.S. knows where the group operates. There's no need for a ten-year hunt like the one for Osama bin Laden. The terror group has two capital cities: Mosul in Iraq and Raqqa in Syria. Al-Qaeda never had such an obvious home address. | 103 |
| Robert Rodriguez | When you go off in the world and make your life, and you come back to your home town, and you find your old high-school friends driving in the same circles, doing the same things, that's what Hollywood's like. It's a little block, little town. It doesn't really grow or change. | 103 |
| Ronda Rousey | At home, I watch fights and documentaries - that's it. If it's not about the birth and death of stars, 'Frozen Planet,' or someone getting punched in the face, I'm probably not watching it. | 103 |
| Shaun White | Snowboarding's tough, because you've got to go to the mountains. For me, I love the skateboard season because I get to hangout at home and still be skating. I don't have to travel to Norway or Japan or these crazy places to be snowboarding. | 103 |
| Solomon Ortiz | For my constituents, owning a home is the culmination of many years of hard work and the realization of the American Dream. At no time should a local entity take those years of hard work solely to increase their tax revenue. | 103 |
| Twyla Tharp | Art is the only way to run away without leaving home. | 103 |
| Vivica A. Fox | I don't like to see projects that are all black or all white. It's how life is. I do like to make sure that I do a nice black family film; that's like keeping my home base. I do other things, but I like to always come back to a positive family film, because of all the negative influences today. | 103 |
| Vince Vaughn | I enjoy going out by myself... always have, always will. I don't have security guards, and, for the most part, I enjoy meeting new people. I see myself as a regular guy who likes playing video games with his nieces and nephews and poker with his family. I don't have an art collection or take exotic vacations. I enjoy being at home. | 103 |
| Walter Dean Myers | I was teased if I brought my books home. I would take a paper bag to the library and put the books in the bag and bring them home. Not that I was that concerned about them teasing me - because I would hit them in a heartbeat. But I felt a little ashamed, having books. | 103 |
| Wendell Willkie | Today it is becoming increasingly apparent to thoughtful Americans that we cannot fight the forces and ideas of imperialism abroad and maintain any form of imperialism at home. The war has done this to our thinking. | 103 |
| Yoenis Cespedes | In Cuba, I would start the first two months hitting around .260 with three or four home runs. After the first half of the season, I would get hot, and that's when I would have my best results. | 103 |
| Yunus Emre | A heart makes a good home for the friend. | 103 |
| Zadie Smith | I'm very attracted to exile literature - particularly Nabokov - exactly because the idea of being away from home for any serious length of time is so inconceivable to me. | 103 |
| Alexandra Stoddard | We can finish a house, but never a home. Once you fall in love with a house, you find continual pleasures in fixing it up and making innovations that satisfy your creature's comforts. | 103 |
| Allan Bloom | The spirit is at home, if not entirely satisfied, in America. | 103 |
| Brian Celio | I wonder: when a Jehovah's Witness dies and goes to Heaven, does God hide behind the door and pretend He's not home? | 103 |
| Colum McCann | When I come home, I say I'm coming home to Dublin. When I'm in Dublin, I say I'm going home to New York. I'm sort of a man of two countries. | 103 |
| Domhnall Gleeson | Going home, spending time with the family, I feel they're my friends as well, all of them. I look forward to meeting any one of them for a coffee, and when we all get together, I just love it. | 103 |
| Elmer Davis | This nation will remain the land of the free only so long as it is the home of the brave. | 103 |
| Georgia May Jagger | My dad was fine about me doing modelling at 16 because I always said school was important to me. I always chose my jobs carefully so I wouldn't have to take too much time off. It got harder toward the end with my A-levels; there were sleepless nights, and I was doing my homework on the plane coming home, but I pulled through. | 103 |
| Jeff Miller | In our open society, we are inclined to give to the less fortunate for the pure goodness of giving. We open our home to those who are alone on this holiday to spread some warmth into the life of another. | 103 |
| Karin Slaughter | I'm extremely introverted. I used to think it was shyness, but I got over that, so it must be door No. 2. It's still hard for me to be away from home much, and I have to make sure I get lots of time alone in my room when I'm touring. | 103 |
| Lionel Richie | Greatness comes from fear. Fear can either shut us down and we go home, or we fight through it. | 103 |
| Lisa Ling | Parents are working more than ever before and unable to monitor what kids are eating at home, and schools are selling astronomical amounts of junk food in order to supplement shrinking budgets. It's a ticking time bomb, and America's children are exploding. | 103 |
| Malcolm Turnbull | To the former child migrants, who came to Australia from a home far away, led to believe this land would be a new beginning, when only to find it was not a beginning, but an end, an end of innocence - we apologise and we are sorry. To the mothers who lost the maternal right to love and care for their child - we apologise, and we are sorry. | 103 |
| Marsha Blackburn | Republicans are for clean water, clean air, and clean energy. We are not for taxing people out of their house, home and business to pay for it. And that is the fundamental difference between the Democrats and Republicans on this issue. | 103 |
| Nico Rosberg | Winning at Monaco feels unbelievable, because it's such a special race and it's also my home race. My first memories were of watching Ayrton Senna here with his yellow helmet, and one day dreaming to win the Monaco GP. | 103 |
| Pam Brown | One small cat changes coming home to an empty house to coming home. | 103 |
| Rory McIlroy | The great thing about my two lives is I love them both. I'm very ambitious and nothing gets in the way of me practising and concentrating on winning golf tournaments. But then I come home and get back to normality. | 103 |
| Sam Shepard | I feel like I've never had a home, you know? I feel related to the country, to this country, and yet I don't know exactly where I fit in... There's always this kind of nostalgia for a place, a place where you can reckon with yourself. | 103 |
| Spike Jonze | I have a home phone number, and I like it! It's like a throwback already. | 103 |
| Tim Cahill | My idea of a vacation is staying home and doing short day hikes, floating the river and things like that. | 103 |
| Timothy Ferriss | I have scary eyes. I look like the guy in 'American History X,' yes. I remember coming home from school and asking my mum if I could get an eye transplant, and of course she declined. | 103 |
| Ann Beattie | I don't write about things that I have the answers to or things that are very close to home. It just wouldn't be any adventure. It wouldn't have any vitality. | 103 |
| Bayard Taylor | So far as female beauty is concerned, the Circassian women have no superiors. They have preserved in their mountain home the purity of the Grecian models, and still display the perfect physical loveliness, whose type has descended to us in the Venus de Medici. | 103 |
| Cat Cora | My humanitarian work evolved from being with my family. My mom, my dad, they really set a great example for giving back. My mom was a nurse, my dad was a school teacher. But my mom did a lot of things for geriatrics and elderly people. She would do home visits for free. | 103 |
| Chaim Potok | All of us grow up in particular realities - a home, family, a clan, a small town, a neighborhood. Depending upon how we're brought up, we are either deeply aware of the particular reading of reality into which we are born, or we are peripherally aware of it. | 103 |
| Chris Noth | Most people know that forests are the lungs of our planet, literally playing a critical role in every breath we take. And that they're also home to incredible animals like the orangutan and elephant, which will go extinct if we keep cutting down their forests. | 103 |
| David Soul | Yes, your home is your castle, but it is also your identity and your possibility to be open to others. | 103 |
| Gary Sheffield | When McGwire started the home run mania, attendance came back. The owners understood that the sudden spike in homers wasn't accidental. All baseball knew it. But baseball is run on money, and home runs meant money. Baseball turned a blind eye. | 103 |
| James Otis | A man's house is his castle. | 103 |
| Jim Parsons | Theatre was my first love. I can't take the theatre out of me. And I wouldn't want to. To me, it's home. | 103 |
| Jonathan Safran Foer | I usually write away from home, in coffee shops, on trains, on planes, in friends' houses. I like places where there's stuff going on that you can lift your eyes, see something interesting, overhear a conversation. | 103 |
| Mark Zandi | It's time to pull the bandage off America's foreclosure problem. The economy is ready to emerge from its recent dark period, but to make it happen soon we need to speed the resolution of millions of troubled home loans. Six years have passed since the crisis began, yet instead of accelerating, foreclosures have slowed. | 103 |
| Michael N. Castle | Their families helped them realize that there was more out there for them. These students came to Delaware State because of its inexpensive tuition, closeness to home, and solid reputation. | 103 |
| Paul Kane | This sort of encouragement is vital for any writer. And lastly the publication of Touching the Flame, which was on hold for two years and went through a few publishers before finding a stable home. | 103 |
| Rachel Stevens | A lot of my childhood memories involve walking home in floods of tears. At that age, feeling unpopular is difficult to handle. | 103 |
| Rex Stout | If I'm home with no chore at hand, and a package of books has come, the television set and the chess board and the unanswered mail will have to manage without me if one of the books is a detective story. | 103 |
| Ryan Phillippe | Home life's great, man. The kids are great, happy and healthy. I've reached this sort of wonderful precipice. | 103 |
| Sarah Kay | I have always liked coming home and sharing what has happened that day with my loved ones. I like comparing notes. I know other people do, too. I think there is a human instinct to tell stories, no matter who you are or where you live. | 103 |
| Stacy Keibler | When I'm home, I like a cozy, comfortable, calming space. | 103 |
| Suresh Raina | I have time only for cricket, and when I am not playing, I love to be at home, chat with my family, do puja with them, call for some yummy paani puri, etc. Also I love to cook. I can make dal, sabji and chicken! But, at home everybody's a vegetarian, so I can't cook non-veg at home! | 103 |
| Thomas Tusser | Seek home for rest, for home is best. | 103 |
| Alice Morse Earle | The study of tavern history often brings to light much evidence of sad domestic changes. Many a cherished and beautiful home, rich in annals of family prosperity and private hospitality, ended its days as a tavern. | 103 |
| Colbie Caillat | Talking with my friends and family every day helps keep me grounded and connected to home. They are the most important things to me. | 103 |
| Darius Rucker | I'm lucky my wife is a strong woman. She's one of the stronger people I've ever met. It's hard for me to be away, but I know my home life is fine because my wife is there. | 103 |
| Denise Juneau | For some students, school is the only place where they get a hot meal and a warm hug. Teachers are sometimes the only ones who tell our children they can go from an Indian reservation to the Ivy League, from the home of a struggling single mom to the White House. | 103 |
| Giovanni Pico della Mirandola | God the Father, the supreme Architect, had already built this cosmic home we behold, the most sacred temple of His godhead, by the laws of His mysterious wisdom. | 103 |
| Jake Shimabukuro | Sometimes I can't think of a better way to end my day than coming home and just strumming my ukulele for a few minutes. I mean, I joke around and tell people that it's an entire yoga session in one strum, you know? | 103 |
| Kenny Guinn | There is something permanent, and something extremely profound, in owning a home. | 103 |
| Randy Neugebauer | More Americans own their home than ever before. Nearly 70 percent of American's are homeowners. So it is a good time for us to asses the positive impacts of homeownership on families, communities and on the nation's economy. | 103 |
| Sarah Chalke | Your home should be your home. People shouldn't be allowed to use whatever crazy lenses they use to catch you waking up in the morning. | 103 |
| Suzy Bogguss | I'm a real Suzy Homemaker. | 103 |
| Chubby Checker | Homey don't quit. What else are you gonna do? It's like those guys in the cartoon they get up in the morning, check the clock and fight all day and after it's over they check the clock and go home. That's how it goes. | 103 |
| Dan Phillips | You can put someone in a new home, but you can't give them a new mindset. | 103 |
| Jon Porter | Jewish immigration in the 20th century was fueled by the Holocaust, which destroyed most of the European Jewish community. The migration made the United States the home of the largest Jewish population in the world. | 103 |
| Amanda Holden | I should have been out there having a wild time like all the other girls my age, but I wasn't. I was going home every night to what was, initially, a very happy marriage. | 103 |
| Julianna Margulies | A good wife is someone who thinks she has done everything right: raising the kids, being there for the husband, being home, trying to do it all. | 103 |
| Anthea Turner | It's cool to have a well run, comfortable and inviting home. | 103 |
| John Cheever | Homesickness is nothing. Fifty percent of the people in the world are homesick all the time. | 103 |
| Jason Dolley | Being home schooled is awesome because you can make your own schedule, so as far as time management, it's up to you how much you get done and when you get it done. It's all got to get done; how you do it is up to you. You need a lot of self-discipline, but luckily, I have it. | 103 |
| Jean-Luc Bilodeau | Fall is my favorite my time of the year. I love it. I'll try and make it back to Vancouver a bunch. I love going back home for that. Everything turns orange. You start to get out of summer, start making your way into the winter, everyone is wearing jackets. Vancouver lights up in the fall, so I definitely go back there for a bit. | 103 |
| John Taylor Gatto | In a home school, the kid does 95% of the work. But in a school system, since it's an indoctrination system, a teacher has to do 95% of the work. | 103 |
| Phil McGraw | The Internet is just bringing all kinds of information into the home. There's just a lot of distraction, a lot of competition for the parent's voice to resonate in the children's ears. | 104 |
| Lionel Messi | I've always really just liked football, and I've always devoted a lot of time to it. When I was a kid, my friends would call me to go out with them, but I would stay home because I had practice the next day. | 104 |
| Ashton Kutcher | Your best T-shirt should be like your bed; it just feels like you are home when you are in it. | 104 |
| Benedict Cumberbatch | I got live tweeted once by someone who was opposite my home in some rented accommodation. He was actually describing on twitter what I was doing. 'I took a shirt off, I went to the window, I put a shirt back on... ' And I've got blinds in my flat! | 104 |
| Charles Caleb Colton | Those who visit foreign nations, but associate only with their own country-men, change their climate, but not their customs. They see new meridians, but the same men; and with heads as empty as their pockets, return home with traveled bodies, but untravelled minds. | 104 |
| Dan Lipinski | On the battlefield, the military pledges to leave no soldier behind. As a nation, let it be our pledge that when they return home, we leave no veteran behind. | 104 |
| Danica Patrick | To be honest, when I'm home, every day is a Friday for me. It doesn't really matter what day it is for me. A lot of my friends actually have time off during the week, and so it doesn't prohibit me from enjoying myself when I am home on a Monday or a Tuesday. | 104 |
| Dorothy L. Sayers | I love you - I am at rest with you - I have come home. | 104 |
| E. W. Howe | To be an ideal guest, stay at home. | 104 |
| Eric Schlosser | I can understand why a single parent, working two jobs, would find it easier to stop at McDonald's with the kids rather than cook something from scratch at home. | 104 |
| Florence King | I'd rather rot on my own floor than be found by a bunch of bingo players in a nursing home. | 104 |
| Gail Collins | Once you're done being president, you tend to want to defend your record more than plumb your inner feelings. I find it hard to imagine Obama going home at night and writing sensitive, introspective journal entries about his meeting with John Boehner. | 104 |
| Heath Ledger | I'm still a kid. I'm like six years old. But it's just a matter of wanting to get up, it's just a big journey. I felt like when I left home that I was on a journey, and I still am. | 104 |
| Henning Mankell | You can have more than one home. You can carry your roots with you, and decide where they grow. | 104 |
| Henry B. Eyring | Heavenly Father has assigned us to a great variety of stations to strengthen and, when needed, to lead travelers to safety. Our most important and powerful assignments are in the family. They are important because the family has the opportunity at the start of a child's life to put feet firmly on the path home. | 104 |
| Jennifer Lawrence | Anytime you're away from your home filming, it messes with your head. | 104 |
| Kevin O'Leary | Here's how I think of my money - as soldiers - I send them out to war everyday. I want them to take prisoners and come home, so there's more of them. | 104 |
| Larry Elder | Once brave politicians and others explain the war on drugs' true cost, the American people will scream for a cease-fire. Bring the troops home, people will urge. Treat drugs as a health problem, not as a matter for the criminal justice system. | 104 |
| LZ Granderson | Instead of this fruitless debate about having it all, men and women should focus on what make us happy. Instead of comparing our lives with people we don't know who are making sacrifices we don't see, we should try to find the right balance between home and work life. | 104 |
| Nate Berkus | I believe your home tells a story about who you are and who you aspire to be. We represent ourselves through the things we own. I don't believe in trends. I believe in collecting things that you connect with. We should surround ourselves with things we care about, that have meaning. | 104 |
| Pat Paulsen | Should we continue to spend billions to subsidize foreign military dictatorships, or should we concentrate on taking better care of the one we have right here at home? | 104 |
| Paul Merton | It was a bizarre existence I led in my early twenties - that cliche of the comedian who goes out and entertains a roomful of people and then goes home to a lonely bedsit was unbelievably poignant for me because that was exactly what I was doing. I had periods of real loneliness. | 104 |
| Robert Orben | I take my children everywhere, but they always find their way back home. | 104 |
| Rosalynn Carter | There is nothing more important than a good, safe, secure home. | 104 |
| Seth Godin | The way to work with a bully is to take the ball and go home. First time, every time. When there's no ball, there's no game. Bullies hate that. So they'll either behave so they can play with you or they'll go bully someone else. | 104 |
| Stephen Gardiner | Land is the secure ground of home, the sea is like life, the outside, the unknown. | 104 |
| Valerie Bertinelli | I've got this old-school workout - push-ups, sit-ups, tricep dips. And it worked. Anybody can do this at home. | 104 |
| Vance Havner | If they had a social gospel in the days of the prodigal son, somebody would have given him a bed and a sandwich and he never would have gone home. | 104 |
| Apolo Ohno | I am a believer in nutrient timing and supplementation, through 8Zone. I love eggs, apples, wild fish, leafy greens, brown rice, pasta, oatmeal, home grown Washington Potatoes, and cooking with coconut and olive oils. | 104 |
| Bill Rancic | Dear Chicago, when I wake up in the morning and see your skyline - the terra cotta of the Wrigley Building, the height of the Willis Tower, the shiny sides of my beloved Trump Tower - I know I'm home. I feel a certain energy walking between your spires, but recognize that what makes you special to me is that my roots are here. | 104 |
| Debi Mazar | On the morning of Thanksgiving, I would wake up to the home smelling of all good things, wafting upstairs to my room. I would set the table with the fancy silverware and china and hope that my parents and grandmother wouldn't have the annual Thanksgiving fight about Richard Nixon. | 104 |
| Dennis Quaid | It's hard for two actors to be together. Take the traveling, for instance. It winds up being a long distance relationship, all the time, because one's working here and one's working there, or one's staying at home and one's off someplace else. | 104 |
| Derrick Jensen | My great-grandmother grew up in a sod house in Nebraska. When she was a tiny girl - in other words, only four human generations ago - there were still enough wild bison on the Plains that she was afraid lightning storms would spook them and they would trample her home. | 104 |
| Elmer Davis | This will remain the land of the free only so long as it is the home of the brave. | 104 |
| Gaston Bachelard | If I were asked to name the chief benefit of the house, I should say: the house shelters day-dreaming, the house protects the dreamer, the house allows one to dream in peace. | 104 |
| Jim Brown | Even though the money is great and the fame is great, you still have a lot of disenfranchised young men that are participating in the NFL that are not very happy. A lot of them are very bitter. A lot them are very angry. So many of them have had no fathers and no home life, and basically, no education. | 104 |
| Jose Saramago | Abstention means you stayed at home or went to the beach. By casting a blank vote, you're saying you have a political conscience but you don't agree with any of the existing parties. | 104 |
| Laura Esquivel | I grew up in a modern home, but my grandmother lived across the street in an old house that was built when churches were illegal in Mexico. She had a chapel in the home, right between the kitchen and dining room. | 104 |
| Lucy Larcom | Whether rich or poor, a home is not a home unless the roots of love are ever striking deeper through the crust of the earthly and the conventional, into the very realities of being, not consciously always; seldom, perhaps; the simplicity of loving grows by living simply near nature and God. | 104 |
| Placido Domingo | I feel at home in an orchestral score. | 104 |
| Tom Shadyac | Our culture does not teach us this, but what happens in Vegas does not stay in Vegas. If you cheat in Vegas, it comes right home with you. If you cheat in Vegas, you walk home as a cheater. You lie awake at a night a cheater. You cannot escape it. | 104 |
| Will Cuppy | Caesar might have married Cleopatra, but he had a wife at home. There's always something. | 104 |
| Afrojack | I was in school - I was a good learner; if I wanted to get something done, I could get it done. I was lazy, though. I was always, like, sort of an outcast. And when I got home, I was always doing music, but when I was doing music, no one was there to judge it, you know? It was just me in my bedroom. It gave me freedom and made me happy. | 104 |
| Andy Roddick | Most players who play tennis love the game. But I think you also have to respect it. You want to do everything you can in your power to do your best. And for me, I know I get insane guilt if I go home at the end of the day and don't feel I've done everything I can. If I know I could have done something better, I have this uneasy feeling. | 104 |
| Jeremiah Wright | We have supported state terrorism against the Palestinians and black South Africans, and now we are indignant because the stuff we have done overseas is now brought right back to our own front yards. America's chickens are coming home to roost. | 104 |
| Jesse Tyler Ferguson | I have lots of Scottish blood and know that my family name is Scottish. At my home in the States I have a tartan crest but, unfortunately, I do a terrible Scottish accent. | 104 |
| Judy Blume | I never thought about writing. I was married young, I was still in college, as we did then, and I had two babies before I was 25, and I loved them, and I loved taking care of them, but I was a little bit cuckoo, staying at home and not having a creative outlet. | 104 |
| Margaret D. Nadauld | We are each one on a road going toward home, but we're not trying to get there for Christmas. We're trying to get there for eternity. We want to arrive home safely to our loving Father in Heaven. He wants us to make it safely there, so He has sent a guiding light for us to follow: a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, the perfect example. | 104 |
| Miriam Makeba | In the mind, in the heart, I was always home. I always imagined, really, going back home. | 104 |
| Redd Foxx | The show doesn't drive home a lesson, but it can open up people's minds enough for them to see how stupid every kind of prejudice can be. | 104 |
| Richard Russo | About 15 years ago I went though a period of a year or so when I just couldn't find anything good. My wife noticed I was having trouble reading menus. I bought some cheap reading glasses in a drug store. I got home and suddenly all these books that weren't good were good. | 104 |
| Stacy Keibler | I like my home to be somewhere where my friends can feel like they can put their feet up on the couch and for it to feel like really easy living. I really love to have my friends over, cook dinner for them, catch up, and spend quality time with quality people in my life. | 104 |
| Taslima Nasrin | All I ever want is to return to either Bangladesh, my motherland, or India, my adopted home. | 104 |
| Celia Imrie | If I ever married, I know I would dread the daily sound of the key in the door and the casual expectancy of 'Hello! I'm home!' | 104 |
| Debbi Fields | I use nothing but the best ingredients. My cookies are always baked fresh. I price cookies so that you cannot make them at home for any less. And I still give cookies away. | 104 |
| Greg Iles | The South is the home of 'an eye for an eye.' 'Turning the other cheek'? The South can't see that. | 104 |
| Jacques Pepin | You know, my parents had a restaurant. And I left home, actually, in 1949, when I was 13 years old, to go into apprenticeship. And actually when I left home, home was a restaurant - like I said, my mother was a chef. So I can't remember any time in my life, from age 5, 6, that I wasn't in a kitchen. | 104 |
| Jennifer Love Hewitt | You have to be very insensitive in order to have a cat, because I think they're very independent. When they're kittens, you think they're going to have a dog temperament in that they're going to run to the door when you get home, lick you on the face and cuddle with you all the time, but cats are not that way. | 104 |
| Meg Cabot | I was the kind of kid who couldn't really stop making up stories during class. I didn't do very well academically because I was always drawing these little doodles in the margins of my notebooks and I wasn't bringing home the best grades. | 104 |
| Patrick MacGill | A clock struck out the hour of twelve, and the bird in the hedgerow was still singing as we marched out to the roadway, and followed our merry pipers home to town. | 104 |
| Sam Ewing | When you finally go back to your old home, you find it wasn't the old home you missed but your childhood. | 104 |
| Billy Carter | Beer is not a good cocktail-party drink, especially in a home where you don't know where the bathroom is. | 104 |
| Emily Post | To the old saying that man built the house but woman made of it a 'home' might be added the modern supplement that woman accepted cooking as a chore but man has made of it a recreation. | 104 |
| Michelle Branch | I'm lucky because I have a job I love. I really miss being away from home, being in my own bed, seeing my animals and siblings, having my moms cookies. I have a couple cats. I got a kitten about a year ago and now Im going on the road so I wont see him for a while. I feel bad. | 104 |
| James D'arcy | It felt good doing a physical job, and going home each evening feeling like I had really done a day's work. | 104 |
| John Doolittle | I extend my deepest gratitude to our Armed Forces and first responders serving both at home and abroad in the war against terrorism. | 104 |
| Charles Dickens | Happy, happy Christmas, that can win us back to the delusions of our childhood days, recall to the old man the pleasures of his youth, and transport the traveler back to his own fireside and quiet home! | 105 |
| David Attenborough | It's coming home to roost over the next 50 years or so. It's not just climate change; it's sheer space, places to grow food for this enormous horde. Either we limit our population growth or the natural world will do it for us, and the natural world is doing it for us right now. | 105 |
| Robert Frost | Home is the place where, when you have to go there, they have to take you in. | 105 |
| Bill Bryson | I once joked in a book that there are three things you can't do in life. You can't beat the phone company, you can't make a waiter see you until he is ready to see you, and you can't go home again. | 105 |
| Craig Venter | I was a surf bum wannabe. I left home at age 17 and moved to Southern California to try to take up surfing as a vocation, but this was in 1964, and there was this nasty little thing called the Vietnam War. As a result, I got drafted. | 105 |
| David Suzuki | The human brain now holds the key to our future. We have to recall the image of the planet from outer space: a single entity in which air, water, and continents are interconnected. That is our home. | 105 |
| Domenico Dolce | My morning routine is quite common: I have breakfast at home while reading the newspaper, I take a shower, get dressed, a spray of cologne, and I am ready to go! | 105 |
| Dr. Dre | I always loved the way music made me feel. I did sports at school and all, but when I got home, it was just music. Everybody in my neighborhood loved music. I could jump the back fence and be in the park where there were ghetto blasters everywhere. | 105 |
| Edward R. Murrow | We cannot defend freedom abroad by deserting it at home. | 105 |
| Eva Green | I was born in Paris, and it's a beautiful place, but London feels like home. I like the village feeling, I like running in the parks - even the food isn't as bad as it used to be. | 105 |
| George McGovern | From secrecy and deception in high places, come home, America. From military spending so wasteful that it weakens our nation, come home, America. | 105 |
| Gwendolyn Brooks | Art hurts. Art urges voyages - and it is easier to stay at home. | 105 |
| Hank Aaron | The thing I like about baseball is that it's one-on-one. You stand up there alone, and if you make a mistake, it's your mistake. If you hit a home run, it's your home run. | 105 |
| Heidi Klum | What are you going to do if you have all the money in the world and all the things that you wanted to achieve in your business and you have no one to share it with? You come home alone at the end of the day. And then what? | 105 |
| Henrik Ibsen | Home life ceases to be free and beautiful as soon as it is founded on borrowing and debt. | 105 |
| Ina Garten | Instead of going out to dinner, buy good food. Cooking at home shows such affection. In a bad economy, it's more important to make yourself feel good. | 105 |
| Josephine Baker | I ran away from home. I ran away from St. Louis, and then I ran away from the United States of America, because of that terror of discrimination, that horrible beast which paralyzes one's very soul and body. | 105 |
| Natalie Wood | I never saw film stars at home. We had no maid, no cook, no swimming pool. | 105 |
| Rene Redzepi | Take a trip to the forest and experience the greatness of getting on your knees and picking your own food and going home... and eating it. | 105 |
| Richard Engel | For years, Lebanese have known that Palestinian camps like Nahr al-Barid and Ain al-Helwe - hopeless slums crowded with generations of disenfranchised Palestinian refugees who can't go home because of Israel, and can't work because of Lebanese laws - are awash with gunmen, criminals and, since the war in Iraq, al-Qaida inspired jihadists. | 105 |
| Rowan Atkinson | Mr. Bean is at his best when he is not using words, but I am equally at home in both verbal and nonverbal expression. | 105 |
| Shawn Mendes | I always think, what type of 11th grader would I be if I was still at school? Or if I was home all the time, would I be at the gym 24/7? Would I be as good at guitar? I know I wouldn't be as mature as I am. | 105 |
| Theodor Herzl | But I am convinced that those Jews who stand aside today with a malicious smile and with their hands in their trousers' pockets will also want to dwell in our beautiful home. | 105 |
| Tom Colicchio | Most cooks try to learn by making dishes. Doesn't mean you can cook. It means you can make that dish. When you can cook is when you can go to a farmers market, buy a bunch of stuff, then go home and make something without looking at a recipe. Now you're cooking. | 105 |
| A. J. McLean | I can't stress how much my daughter is an inspiration to stay sober. When I come home and she opens those big blue eyes at me, it's the most amazing feeling I could ever feel. | 105 |
| Abhishek Bachchan | I think India is very passionate about films. It's almost a second religion back home. Due to that, I think film stars are - are really held in great esteem. Not that we're complaining, but I think with that comes a lot of responsibility. | 105 |
| Arlie Russell Hochschild | No work-family balance will ever fully take hold if the social conditions that might make it possible - men who are willing to share parenting and housework, communities that value work in the home as highly as work on the job, and policymakers and elected officials who are prepared to demand family-friendly reforms - remain out of reach. | 105 |
| Barbara Corcoran | You may not like the idea of putting money into a home when you're moving out. But it's demanded by the market. You need to show it off. You don't have to rip out the kitchen and bathroom. But maybe replace the tiles or the countertops. Get professional advice. | 105 |
| Corita Kent | Take an exhibit, in the days when we saw the Pop art - Andy Warhol and all that - tomato soup cans, etc., and coming home, you saw everything like A. Warhol. | 105 |
| Daniel Tammet | There are always things I find difficult - being in crowds, remembering faces. I do like routines. I always travel with someone. My life in Avignon is a very quiet one. I have an apartment that looks over the whole city. I can drop into town, but a lot of the time I write from home. In some respects I still live a very quiet, simple life. | 105 |
| Dominic Monaghan | When I was at college, I worked in a department store called Brit Home Stores, which is a pretty lackluster department store, selling clothes for middle-aged women. My job was to walk the floor and find anything that was damaged, take it to the store room and log it. | 105 |
| Erin Morgenstern | I'm a firm believer that lighting affects mood, and twinkly lights on strings bring something magical to occasions ranging from concerts to weddings, though I'm fond of using them as year-round home decor. There's a reason why they're sometimes called fairy lights. When the night is right, there aren't any strings at all. | 105 |
| Hedi Slimane | When I was designing, I had in mind Jimi Hendrix, and I could hardly find skinny indie black kids to wear my clothes. I remember one telling me he had to swap his skinny jeans for baggy ones in the subway before going home, so he wouldn't get in trouble in his neighborhood. | 105 |
| Kat Graham | There was a time when men thought it was sexy to have a housewife waiting for him to come home from work in her slippers, but in modern society, I think an independent woman is even more sexy. | 105 |
| Laura Esquivel | As a very young girl, I understood that the interior activities of the home are as significant as the exterior activities of society. | 105 |
| Maeve Binchy | My memory of my home was that it was very happy, and that there was more fun and life there than there was anywhere else. | 105 |
| Mariella Frostrup | For many young women, the dream of independence and a home of their own is a tantalising goal, while a lifetime devoted solely to catering for another person's needs would be hard to countenance. | 105 |
| Mark McGwire | I'm sure people will wonder if I could have hit all those home runs had I never taken steroids. | 105 |
| Mary Roach | I used to do my best thinking while staring out airplane windows. The seat-back video system put a stop to that. Now I sit and watch old' Friends' and 'Everybody Loves Raymond' episodes. Walking is good, but here again, technology has interfered. I like to listen to iTunes while I walk home. I guess I don't think anymore. | 105 |
| Priscilla Presley | I mean, I had probably an illusion of being the wife that, you know, I wanted to create a home. I wanted to have children. I wanted him to be a husband. It was never going to be that way. It couldn't be that way. | 105 |
| Tom Araya | We just bought a new house, so my wife's been doing all the moving and other stuff, so I would like to go home and just sit and enjoy all that for a couple months before I gotta start playing again. | 105 |
| Tom Jones | I love listening to new stuff, at home in LA I always have the radio on to hear what is happening. | 105 |
| David Mixner | Sick people, particularly those with serious conditions, greatly prefer the company of their friends and family to residence in a hospital or nursing home. | 105 |
| John Cusack | I remember once acting really cool on a bus with this girl named Stephanie. When I got home, I realized that I had a really big zit on my forehead. If you have acne problems, you really shouldn't be acting like Don Juan. I should have been contrite - and apologized for exposing her to the angry pimple. | 105 |
| Malin Akerman | We all in real life put on these masks - we don't swear when we're around certain people... When we come home, when you're on your own I'm sure you're really different than when you're with your boss. | 105 |
| Max Heindel | It is best to be born in April or August when the life-giving Sun is in its exaltation sign Aries or Leo, its home, for then we enter the sea of life on the crest-wave and are backed in the battle of existence by an abundant fund of vim and energy. | 105 |
| Michael Ondaatje | I'm a Canadian citizen. But I always want to feel at home in Sri Lanka. I'm a member of both countries. | 105 |
| Phoebe Tonkin | I enjoy staying home with friends more than going out. The other night, for example, my girlfriends and I stayed in listening to some '90s rap - my favorite kind. We were in the Hamptons and made it an all-Biggie weekend, all of his albums on repeat. I loved it. | 105 |
| Rachel Roy | Because my business life is so busy, my home is really my sanctuary. That is where I reflect and spend quality time with my girls. | 105 |
| Angie Harmon | Here's kind of my motto - if you're not happy at home, you're not happy anywhere else. | 105 |
| Evan Esar | Housework is what a woman does that nobody notices unless she hasn't done it. | 105 |
| James Levine | More and more couples are having this negotiation or discussion, but I'm still amazed at the number who aren't and where the cultural norm sort of kicks in and they just assume that mom's got to be the one who stays home, not dad. | 105 |
| Mark Burnett | If you want to be certain, you should never get married. You should never change jobs. In fact, you might as well just stay home. Because I don't know anybody who is certain. That need to be certain is just procrastination. | 105 |
| Catherine Opie | I tried to get as far away from home as possible after I graduated from high school because I had a hard time being a kid. | 105 |
| Jonny Greenwood | If I'm on a train, with headphones, MP3s are great. At home, I prefer CD or vinyl, partly because they sound a little better in a quiet room and partly because they're finite in length and separate things, unlike the endless days and days of music stored on my laptop. | 105 |
| Anthea Turner | Run a home like you would a small business and treat it with the same seriousness. | 105 |
| Jean Kerr | Marrying a man is like buying something you've been admiring for a long time in a shop window. You may love it when you get it home, but it doesn't always go with everything else in the house. | 105 |
| Joe Garagiola | Baseball is a game of race, creed, and color. The race is to first base. The creed is the rules of the game. The color? Well, the home team wears white uniforms, and the visiting team wears gray. | 105 |
| Stephen Bannon | After making the 'Occupy' movie, when you finish watching the film, you want to take a hot shower. You want to go home and shower because you've just spent an hour and fifteen minutes with the greasiest, dirtiest people you will ever see. | 106 |
| Taylor Swift | Nashville is my home, and the reason why I get to do what I love. | 106 |
| Amelia Earhart | Better do a good deed near at home than go far away to burn incense. | 106 |
| Alton Brown | I know people that could serve me canned tuna and saltine crackers and have me feel more at home at their table than some people who can cook circles around me. The more you try to impress people, generally the less you do. | 106 |
| Anthony Bourdain | I'm married to an Italian woman, and I used to love cooking Italian at home, because it's one-pot cooking. But my wife does not approve of my Italian cooking. | 106 |
| Babe Ruth | Every strike brings me closer to the next home run. | 106 |
| Betty Friedan | It is better for a woman to compete impersonally in society, as men do, than to compete for dominance in her own home with her husband, compete with her neighbors for empty status, and so smother her son that he cannot compete at all. | 106 |
| Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie | I live half the year in Nigeria, the other half in the U.S. But home is Nigeria - it always will be. I consider myself a Nigerian who is comfortable in the world. I look at it through Nigerian eyes. | 106 |
| Daniel Dennett | The juvenile sea squirt wanders through the sea searching for a suitable rock or hunk of coral to cling to and make its home for life. For this task, it has a rudimentary nervous system. When it finds its spot and takes root, it doesn't need its brain anymore so it eats it! | 106 |
| Edward Abbey | The tragedy of modern war is that the young men die fighting each other - instead of their real enemies back home in the capitals. | 106 |
| Eric Idle | I love my family, my wife, my kids, my dogs, my home, my life. I am a very happy and contented man. | 106 |
| Gail Collins | I grew up in one of the most socially conservative neighborhoods in Ohio, and my parents were traditional Catholics. But in her old age, my mother got her home health care from a guy who was gay, who was wonderful to her. Before she died, she rode a float in the Cincinnati Gay Pride Parade. | 106 |
| Joni Mitchell | I come from pioneer stock, developers of the West, people who went out into the wilderness and set up home with nothing but a pair of oxen. | 106 |
| Laura Ingalls Wilder | Home is the nicest word there is. | 106 |
| Layne Staley | When everyone goes home, you're stuck with yourself. | 106 |
| Niall Horan | I just like sitting at home, chilling and watching a movie. | 106 |
| Paul Pierce | Life changes when you have a child, when you have your own family. You become more careful about what you do. You're not going to be out late, going out to clubs, hanging out with your friends. You're going to be at home, taking care of your daughter, playing with her. | 106 |
| Pharrell Williams | The simplest way to say it is that I think we're all dealt these cards in life, but the cards in and of themselves don't read one way or the other. It's up to you to home in and cultivate whatever you've got in your hand. | 106 |
| Potter Stewart | The 4th Amendment and the personal rights it secures have a long history. At the very core stands the right of a man to retreat into his own home and there be free from unreasonable governmental intrusion. | 106 |
| Ringo Starr | And I came back and it was great, 'cuz George had set up all these flowers all over the studio saying welcome home. So then we got it together again. I always felt it was better on the White one for me. We were more like a band, you know. | 106 |
| Shah Rukh Khan | I have lived in Mumbai for more than 20 years, have my domicile here, my home and family here. | 106 |
| Shaquille O'Neal | When I get old, I'm going to the old folks' home. I don't want to be one of those guys who's hanging around the house bothering the kids. But not just any old folks' home. I want the whole top floor. | 106 |
| Simon Hoggart | I think the great thing about grandparents is seeing another home, realising that people you love can have different priorities, different diversions, different opinions and lead quite different lives from the ones you see every day, and that is immensely valuable. | 106 |
| Simon Wiesenthal | The schools would fail through their silence, the Church through its forgiveness, and the home through the denial and silence of the parents. The new generation has to hear what the older generation refuses to tell it. | 106 |
| Sojourner Truth | I am not going to die, I'm going home like a shooting star. | 106 |
| Sue Monk Kidd | Unraveling external selves and coming home to our real identity is the true meaning of soul work. | 106 |
| Tony Stewart | Get in the race car do what I do then go home. We don't have freedom to do anything anymore. | 106 |
| William E. Gladstone | Here is my first principle of foreign policy: good government at home. | 106 |
| Yo-Yo Ma | I love grocery shopping when I'm home. That's what makes me feel totally normal. I love both the idea of home as in being with my family and friends, and also the idea of exploration. I think those two are probably my great interests. | 106 |
| Alex Berenson | Like many other banks and finance companies, Green Tree used a process called securitization to resell its home loans to outside investors. Green Tree grouped thousands of these small loans into a pool worth hundreds of millions of dollars. | 106 |
| Andre Leon Talley | I like the idea of being warm and secure. That's what home should be. That you have a sense of warmth, security, love, and you love the things around you and surround yourself with beauty. | 106 |
| Bjorn Lomborg | I tentatively believe in a god. I was brought up in a fairly religious home. I think the world is compatible with reincarnation, karma, all that stuff. | 106 |
| Bob Feller | I'm no hero. Heroes don't come back. Survivors return home. Heroes never come home. If anyone thinks I'm a hero, I'm not. | 106 |
| Caitlin Moran | One of the great things about being a writer/journalist is that my boss loves me to go out and do features on being someone else. I did a feature on Kate Middleton, where I went to an incredible fancy state home in the countryside, put on a wedding dress and posed for engagement pictures with a fake Prince William. | 106 |
| Ernest Gaines | I wanted to be a writer. I wanted to say something about home. | 106 |
| Gary Allan | I'll fill those canyons in your soul, like a river lead you home. And I'll walk a step behind, in the shadows so you shine. Just ask, it will be done and I will prove my love, until you're sure that I'm the one. | 106 |
| Henry Drummond | Strength of character may be learned at work, but beauty of character is learned at home. | 106 |
| James Hillman | The culture is going into a psychological depression. We are concerned about our place in the world, about being competitive: Will my children have as much as I have? Will I ever own my own home? How can I pay for a new car? Are immigrants taking away my white world? | 106 |
| Jet Li | My wife is the boss at home, and my daughters are the bosses. I am just the worker. We are a very warm family and very happy. | 106 |
| Johnny Vegas | I couldn't be 'Johnny' in front of a camera in acting jobs and behind the camera I like to be 'Michael.' With directing, you can't do it by halves. There's a lot of reflection, and I have found that I, as 'Michael,' thrive on it. It's lovely coming home and feeling that stuff from a day's work as myself. | 106 |
| Kajol | I'd love sloth. I wish sloth would come home and visit me once in a while. I don't consider laziness a sin at all. | 106 |
| Kevin DeYoung | We were taught in school, and I was taught at home and in church, that blacks and whites were equal and we should not discriminate based on skin color, even if my school was almost entirely white. | 106 |
| Rosemary Mahoney | My mother had seven children in seven years. No twins. She also had a three-legged beagle who was compelled to bite strangers, a freakishly big double-pawed tomcat who regularly left dead rabbits on the front doorstep, and 70 white mice that one or another of us had smuggled home from my father's research laboratory. | 106 |
| Sarah Brightman | I am not quite sure where home is right now. I do have places in London and Milan, and a house in Spain. I guess I would say home is where my mother is, and she lives in Spain. | 106 |
| Shashi Tharoor | I have been a frequent air traveler since I was a few months shy of my sixth birthday, when my parents packed me off to boarding school two plane rides away from home. Those days of being willingly handed from air hostess to air hostess as an 'unaccompanied minor' made me blase about the rigors of air travel. | 106 |
| Alexander Chase | A man's home is his wife's castle. | 106 |
| Jenni Rivera | Mexican music runs through my veins. I loved it. Growing up, my father didn't allow us to listen to English music at home. That's all I heard. I had no choice. | 106 |
| Sam Abell | There are a lot of ways to be expressive in life, but I wasn't good at some of them. Music, for instance. I was a distinct failure with the cello. Eventually, my parents sold the cello and bought a vacuum cleaner. The sound in our home improved. | 106 |
| Shari Arison | Each one of us can do a good deed, every day and everywhere. In hospitals in desperate need of volunteers, in homes for the elderly where our parents and grandparents are longing for a smile, a listening ear, in the street, in our workplaces and especially at home. | 106 |
| Sheherazade Goldsmith | If you are energy-efficient and water-wise at home, then take all your good habits abroad with you. | 106 |
| The Weeknd | 'Kiss Land' is the story after 'Trilogy'; it's pretty much the second chapter of my life. The narrative takes place after my first flight; it's very foreign, very Asian-inspired. When people ask me, 'Why Japan?' I simply tell them it's the furthest I've ever been from home. It really is a different planet. | 106 |
| Charlie Kimball | It takes more than driving to become an IndyCar driver. Gone are the days when drivers show up Friday morning and go home Sunday night. We're all integral to our partnerships, commercially, motorsports. We're as much champions in the boardroom as we are on the racetrack. | 106 |
| Lin Yutang | No one realizes how beautiful it is to travel until he comes home and rests his head on his old, familiar pillow. | 106 |
| Jim Evans | My main objective is to prepare candidates for professional baseball; however, the majority of our graduates will go home as much better qualified amateurs. | 106 |
| Jimmy Chamberlin | After I left the Pumpkins, I went home and just sat around. I have a studio in my basement, and I found myself writing all these songs, just taking advantage of the relaxed situation. I wrote about 30 songs in about 30 days. | 106 |
| Jude Law | We all have times when we go home at night and pull out our hair and feel misunderstood and lonely and like we're falling. I think the brain is such that there is always going to be something missing. | 106 |
| Dale Carnegie | Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage. If you want to conquer fear, do not sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy. | 107 |
| Rumi | It may be that the satisfaction I need depends on my going away, so that when I've gone and come back, I'll find it at home. | 107 |
| Wayne Dyer | You aren't your work, your accomplishments, your possessions, your home, your family... your anything. You're a creation of your Source, dressed in a physical human body intended to experience and enjoy life on Earth. | 107 |
| Iris Apfel | I am not a fashionista, and I don't dress up. Usually if I'm at home, where I am now, I'm wearing a robe. | 107 |
| Meister Eckhart | God is at home, it's we who have gone out for a walk. | 107 |
| Og Mandino | You never know what events are going to transpire to get you home. | 107 |
| Samuel Johnson | To be happy at home is the ultimate result of all ambition, the end to which every enterprise and labor tends, and of which every desire prompts the prosecution. | 107 |
| Ben Okri | Home can be the friend you have been searching for all your life or the person you met once very briefly. | 107 |
| Bill Maher | Things aren't right. If a burglar breaks into your home and you shoot him, he can sue you. For what, restraint of trade? | 107 |
| Blake Lively | I love being at home and cooking and baking. | 107 |
| Caroline Knapp | I saw my parents as model grown-ups, and their manner, their silence, informed my sense of what adulthood looked and felt like. Grown-ups behaved rationally and calmly. Grown-ups worked during the day and came home at night and sat down for drinks and passed the evening quietly. | 107 |
| Clare Boothe Luce | A man's home may seem to be his castle on the outside; inside is more often his nursery. | 107 |
| Daniel Boone | During our travels, the Indians entertained me well; and their affection for me was so great, that they utterly refused to leave me there with the others, although the Governor offered them one hundred pounds sterling for me, on purpose to give me a parole to go home. | 107 |
| E. Stanley Jones | Being born in a Christian home does not make you a Christian. | 107 |
| Keke Palmer | I'm a workaholic, so I ignore the signs of fatigue and just keep going and going, and then conk out when I get home. It can be pretty stressful. | 107 |
| Kenny Chesney | Social topics may hit too close to home for people, but then again, if you pull a heartstring, then that's what country music is. It's not just songs about getting drunk and leaving your girl. | 107 |
| Kevin Rudd | What we have seen in financial markets should bring home to us all that the central organising principle of this 21st century is interdependence. For the century just past, interdependence may have been one option among many. For the century that is to come, there is no longer an alternative. | 107 |
| Loretta Young | Like charity, I believe glamour should begin at home. | 107 |
| Lykke Li | You can become quite blase, and also, I have no sense of home; I don't have roots. I've never had that feeling that someone else is going to take care of me, ever. I don't trust people. | 107 |
| Najib Razak | The vast majority of Malaysians are sensible people; they're moderates, they want peace, they want harmonious race relations at home. They look for national unity. | 107 |
| Natalie Dormer | What makes me really happy is a walk in the English countryside. A nice sunset, that British countryside - it means I'm home. | 107 |
| Nate Berkus | I like my house to be unique to me. Sure, I've bought plenty of things out of a catalog, but the way I put them together in my home is special. You might have bought your sofa at a major home decorating store, but the rug you found at the flea market is so unique, it takes your room from 'carbon copy' to 'simply yours' in no time. | 107 |
| Norman Wisdom | I was born in London, and went to school in Scotland - I used to be dead tired when I got home at night. | 107 |
| Oliver Goldsmith | A man who leaves home to mend himself and others is a philosopher; but he who goes from country to country, guided by the blind impulse of curiosity, is a vagabond. | 107 |
| Paula Poundstone | Once I was gone for a month and I was just miserable, so I flew back from Florida for two hours just to be home and see my cats. | 107 |
| Pete Rose | Willie Mays could throw better, and Hank Aaron could hit more home runs. But I've got enthusiasm. I've got desire. I've got hustle. Those are God-given talents, too. | 107 |
| Rupert Murdoch | So long as I can stay mentally alert - inquiring, curious - I want to keep going. I love my wife and my children, but I don't want to sit around at home with them. We go on safaris and things like that. I can do that for a couple of weeks a year. I'm just not ready to stop, to die. | 107 |
| Ryan Reynolds | There's a very real possibility in this industry of going out and leading your life and then going home and being a voyeur of your own life. You can literally go watch yourself - where you went last night, what you did, what the things that people presuppose about you. It's kind of crazy. | 107 |
| Sandra Cisneros | I wanted to write something in a voice that was unique to who I was. And I wanted something that was accessible to the person who works at Dunkin Donuts or who drives a bus, someone who comes home with their feet hurting like my father, someone who's busy and has too many children, like my mother. | 107 |
| Sarah Ban Breathnach | Be grateful for the home you have, knowing that at this moment, all you have is all you need. | 107 |
| Satchel Paige | Just take the ball and throw it where you want to. Throw strikes. Home plate don't move. | 107 |
| Tommy Lasorda | Baseball is like driving, it's the one who gets home safely that counts. | 107 |
| Willie Geist | Like a lot of kids, I had a Superman cake or different theme cakes, but then I hit the age where I think my mom thought I was ready for the German chocolate cake that she makes for my dad. Just the sight of that, the taste of that frosting, just reminds me of being at home with my mom and my dad and my sister and my friends. | 107 |
| Yelawolf | My homies in Gadsden aren't as exposed as I am culturally, which is awesome - that's why I love going home. I'm in the kitchen with people who don't know anything but the simple life, what's important to them, and what's dope. | 107 |
| Amber Heard | One of the biggest challenges in my job is letting go of the movie once you go home at night, and knowing you can't do anything to your performance once you've laid it on film. | 107 |
| Barry Sanders | Let's just win it and go home. | 107 |
| Eric Bana | I love being at home, being with friends and family. I'm of European stock, brought up in Australia. I'm a passionate guy. I just love life. | 107 |
| Jane Birkin | Nothing has ever touched on what fun childhood was. Summer holidays were bliss. We made home movies, with real stories in them. My father had such charm and charisma, and made everything so funny. | 107 |
| Junot Diaz | I have a very powerful sense of place, but I have a very powerful sense of being a migrant, so it's both. It seems like I'm always leaving my home. That's part of the formula. I love the Dominican Republic. I go back all the time. I love New Jersey. Go back all the time. | 107 |
| Kim Il-sung | South Koreans who have seen and praised the mass games should remember the hardship of tearful children. Teachers drive them hard with curses and orders to repeat and repeat. When the children return home in the evening, they can hardly walk. | 107 |
| Lydia M. Child | Home - that blessed word, which opens to the human heart the most perfect glimpse of Heaven, and helps to carry it thither, as on an angel's wings. | 107 |
| Thomas Browne | Charity But how shall we expect charity towards others, when we are uncharitable to ourselves? Charity begins at home, is the voice of the world; yet is every man his greatest enemy, and, as it were, his own executioner. | 107 |
| Afrojack | If you really want to be a music producer, stop watching 'Friends' when you get home from school. Start trying to make music. If you're not going to try, then it's impossible. When you try, it's always possible. | 107 |
| Christoph Waltz | Well, you need the villain. If you don't have a villain, the good guy can stay home. | 107 |
| Jacques Pepin | When you are at home, even if the chicken is a little burnt, what's the big deal? Relax. | 107 |
| J. K. Rowling | Whether you come back by page or by the big screen, Hogwarts will always be there to welcome you home. | 108 |
| Karl Pilkington | Yesterday, I did some painting then went out to buy an onion and came home and watched 'University Challenge.' The onion was probably the highlight. | 108 |
| Ben Okri | I went to London because, for me, it was the home of literature. I went there because of Dickens and Shakespeare. | 108 |
| Bobby Bowden | I was always going to church with my mom, dad and sister. I was literally raised under the godly influence both at home and church. There was no alcohol and no smoking at our house. That was the way a Bowden was supposed to live. My dad always told me to represent the Bowden name in a respectful manner. | 108 |
| Bobby Knight | I watched the guy that hits a home run, and he comes across the plate and he points skyward, like thanking for the help from the Almighty to hit the home run. And as he does that, I say to myself, 'God screwed the pitcher.' And I don't know how else you look at it. | 108 |
| David Ricardo | If the demand for home commodities should be diminished, because of the fall of rent on the part of the landlords, it will be increased in a far greater degree by the increased opulence of the commercial classes. | 108 |
| Deepika Padukone | There is a strong side to me, that is of a homemaker. I look forward to spending time at home in the evenings, cooking a meal, chatting with my parents and inviting friends over. | 108 |
| Erin Heatherton | I have way too many candles. There's always a candle burning at home. | 108 |
| Gareth Bale | Whenever I get days off, I go home, or friends and family come up. I'm in contact with them every day, so it's like we live next door, but obviously we live in two different countries. Football is my job, and everyone around me has given me the opportunity to purely concentrate on football, and everyone else worries about everything else. | 108 |
| Hank Aaron | I'm hoping someday that some kid, black or white, will hit more home runs than myself. Whoever it is, I'd be pulling for him. | 108 |
| Jeff Foxworthy | If your neighbors think you're a detective because a cop always brings you home, you might be a redneck. | 108 |
| Joan Rivers | I told my mother-in-law that my house was her house, and she said, 'Get the hell off my property.' | 108 |
| Meryl Streep | Having been let out of the barn once, I know I wouldn't be happy if I were home all the time. | 108 |
| Michael Phelps | I feel most at home in the water. I disappear. That's where I belong. | 108 |
| Sylvia Earle | Every time I slip into the ocean, it's like going home. | 108 |
| Theodor Herzl | The Jewish people asked nothing of its sons except not to be denied. The world is grateful to every great man when he brings it something; only the paternal home thanks the son who brings nothing but himself. | 108 |
| Vin Diesel | If you're the type of person who has to fulfill your dreams, you've gotta be resourceful to make sure you can do it. I came out to California when I was 21, thinking my New York credentials would take me all the way. I came back home a year later all dejected and a failure. | 108 |
| Xi Jinping | During the long process of history, by relying on our own diligence, courage and wisdom, Chinese people have opened up a good and beautiful home where all ethnic groups live in harmony and fostered an excellent culture that never fades. | 108 |
| Abhishek Bachchan | I don't think your personal life has anything to do with your professional life. They are separate things. Whatever is happening at home shouldn't be carried to work. Everyone has his/her own journey. Some revel in the fact that they derive that from personal contentment, and others draw it from extreme sorrow. | 108 |
| Cindy Crawford | I want my home to look good, feel good, and smell good. I want it to be inclusive, to reflect the people who live there. | 108 |
| Erin O'Connor | I have two curiosity cabinets at home filled with finds from jumble sales, markets and my travels. My favourite piece is a voodoo mask from just outside Cape Town. | 108 |
| Jessica Lange | For me, nothing has ever taken precedence over being a mother and having a family and a home. | 108 |
| Rob Manuel | Added to the rooster of courses, 'Tiger Woods 10' adds in seven new courses from the pristine Bethpage Black, home of this year's U.S. Open, to the legendary Pinehurst. The Wii Weather Channel will even adjust the forecast to match the fairway because sometimes even the pros have to play in the rain. | 108 |
| Malala Yousafzai | If you go anywhere, even paradise, you will miss your home. | 109 |
| Kid Cudi | My background is not typical hip-hop. I didn't grow up in the projects. I grew up in a single family home in a middle-class suburb. That doesn't mean I didn't experience hardship, but to me it's not about that, it's about the future and where we are trying to take it. | 109 |
| Bear Grylls | Survival requires us to leave our prejudices at home. It's about doing whatever it takes - and ultimately those with the biggest heart will win. | 109 |
| Jay-Z | Racism is taught in the home. We agree on that? Well, it's very hard to teach racism to a teenager who's listening to rap music and who idolizes, say, Snoop Dogg. It's hard to say, 'That guy is less than you.' The kid is like, 'I like that guy, he's cool. How is he less than me? | 109 |
| Babe Ruth | Reading isn't good for a ballplayer. Not good for his eyes. If my eyes went bad even a little bit I couldn't hit home runs. So I gave up reading. | 109 |
| Barbra Streisand | My biggest nightmare is I'm driving home and get sick and go to hospital. I say: 'Please help me.' And the people say: 'Hey, you look like...' And I'm dying while they're wondering whether I'm Barbra Streisand. | 109 |
| Chris Hadfield | Almost everything worthwhile carries with it some sort of risk, whether it's starting a new business, whether it's leaving home, whether it's getting married, or whether it's flying in space. | 109 |
| Elizabeth Edwards | It takes a lot of work to put together a marriage, to put together a family and a home. | 109 |
| Elizabeth Warren | I learned early on what debt means, how vulnerable it makes people, what the security of owning a home means. | 109 |
| Florence Welch | The aesthetic came along the way, I think - just through experimenting, and going on tour, and trying stuff out on stage, having fun with it, and not taking it too seriously. If I had a ballgown at home, I'd wear it onstage. If I found something in a charity shop, I'd wear it. That's where it grew from - just wanting to play dress-up. | 109 |
| Frank Abagnale | I was just a guy who ran away from home at 16 because my parents were getting a divorce and the judge was making me choose which parent to live with. I didn't want to make that choice. I ended up in New York City. | 109 |
| Giada De Laurentiis | I think children learning to cook can be such a wonderful thing. It can help build confidence, make them feel good about themselves. It helped me build my ego and even start to get acceptance at school. I'd bring things to class that I'd cooked at home. | 109 |
| Harper Lee | Well, they're Southern people, and if they know you are working at home they think nothing of walking right in for coffee. But they wouldn't dream of interrupting you at golf. | 109 |
| Harry Connick, Jr. | There are more than 300,000 families in the Gulf region that lost their homes and are waiting for peace of mind. The hurricane exposed the sad reality of poverty in America. We saw, in all its horrific detail, the vulnerabilities of living in inadequate housing and the heartbreak of losing one's home. | 109 |
| Ina Garten | I learned that the hardest party to pull off successfully is Saturday night dinner. This meal is expected to be elaborate: appetizers, first course, dinner, dessert, and coffee. People arrive at 7:30 or 8 p.m. and stay for hours - definitely past my bedtime - and they all go home exhausted. | 109 |
| John Cena | My home is at the WWE. I truly do love performing. The atmosphere here isn't like anything else. It's truly where I belong. | 109 |
| Julia Roberts | My life at home gives me absolute joy. There are some days when, as soon as you've finished cooking breakfast and cleaning up the kitchen, it's time to start lunch, and by the time you've done that, you're doing dinner and thinking, 'There has to be a menu we can order from.' | 109 |
| Knute Rockne | At home we're the hosts, and I never liked the idea of being embarrased in front of our friends. | 109 |
| Layne Staley | I've always looked for the perfect life to step into. I've taken all the paths to get where I wanted. But no matter where I go, I still come home. | 109 |
| Miranda Hart | If taking one-self seriously as a woman means committing to a life of grooming, pumicing, pruning and polishing one's exterior for the benefit of onlookers, then I may as well leave my unwieldy rucksack to the top of a bleak Scottish hill and make my home there under a stone, where I'll fashion shoes out of mud and clothes out of leaves. | 109 |
| Noel Gallagher | I remember the '70s constantly being winter in Manchester and the Irish community in Manchester closing ranks because of the IRA bombings in Birmingham and Manchester, and you know the bin-workers' strike, all wrapped up in it... They were violent times. Violence at home and violence at football matches. | 109 |
| O. Henry | Turn up the lights. I don't want to go home in the dark. | 109 |
| Orlando Bloom | You can drive an SUV, but there's a balance. If you do that, maybe use energy-efficient light bulbs at home or just be conscious of switching off lights. If you can afford to drive an SUV, maybe you can afford to make a donation to a wind farm or plant some trees. It's all about balance. | 109 |
| Rachael Ray | Good food and a warm kitchen are what makes a house a home. I always tried to make my home like my mother's, because Mom was magnificent at stretching a buck when it came to decorating and food. Like a true Italian, she valued beautification in every area of her life, and I try to do the same. | 109 |
| Rose George | In some of the great cities of Europe - Paris, Vienna, Prague, and Brussels - tourists bored with life above ground can descend below. All these cities have sewer museums and tours, and all expose their underbelly willingly to the curious. But not London, arguably the home of the most splendid sewer network in Europe. | 109 |
| Samuel L. Jackson | I kind of realize that I have a tendency to choose the kind of films I watched when I was a kid and would go home and pretend with my friends that we were in those movies after we saw them. | 109 |
| Sophia Bush | I was lucky. My family is wonderful. And it's funny, because most of my best friends come from very large families. So it always felt as if I had lots of siblings, though in the end I had to leave them and go home. I kind of got the best of both worlds as a kid. | 109 |
| Steve Wozniak | You can make something big when young that will carry you through life. Look at all the big startups like Microsoft, Apple, Google, Facebook, Twitter, etc. They were all started by very young people who stumbled on something of unseen value. You'll know it when you hit a home run. | 109 |
| V. S. Naipaul | Home is, I suppose just a child's idea. A house at night, and a lamp in the house. A place to feel safe. | 109 |
| Amy Chua | For my senior prom, my father finally said I could go - as long as I was home by 9 P.M.! That was around the time that most people were heading out. When I was little I was so mad at them all the time. 'Why can't I do this?' 'Why are there so many rules?' But looking back now, my parents gave me the foundation to have so many choices in life. | 109 |
| Erin O'Connor | It's a very intimate thing to invite someone into your home; there's a lot of trust involved. | 109 |
| Leighton Meester | When I do get free time, I spend a lot of it at home with my family and my close friends and I think that's what keeps me happy, healthy, grounded, and totally in check. | 109 |
| May Sarton | A house that does not have one warm, comfy chair in it is soulless. | 109 |
| Mickey Mantle | When I hit a home run I usually didn't care where it went. So long as it was a home run was all that mattered. | 109 |
| Raf Simons | Every weekend, I'm on the highway to Antwerp. I need to be there, to have the calm. It's a whole different life: I jump on my bike, and it's so small, I can be anywhere in a minute. I like to be at home when there's free time because when you're at a big company, you're constantly surrounded by 30 people. | 109 |
| Cat Cora | I've been experimenting more and more with LN2, liquid nitrogen. I've used it in battle on 'Iron Chef America,' but have also made some great ice creams at home for my family. Since it freezes basically on contact, you can have ice cream ready in mere minutes. | 109 |
| Jim DeMint | The message is pretty clear: Americans are sick and tired of the doubletalk coming out of Washington, of us going home and saying we're conservative and then coming up here and voting for 10,000 earmarks. We can't fool America anymore; the media is too good. They're reporting what we're really doing. | 109 |
| Max Heindel | Music is intangible and ephemeral, but it comes from the home world of the spirit, and though so fleeting, it is recognized by the spirit as a soul-speech fresh from the celestial realms, an echo from the home whence we are now exiled, and therefore it touches a cord in our being, regardless of whether we realize the true cause or not. | 109 |
| Suresh Raina | I've always wanted to buy a sports car. After the England series, I went up to my dad and said that I wanted to buy a sports car and got his consent. On his birthday, I surprised him by bringing it home. It's a Porsche Boxter Limited Edition, and my family was thrilled to see it. | 109 |
| Ryan Stiles | I'm going to buy some green bananas because by the time I get home they'll be ripe. | 109 |
| Andy Warhol | I had a lot of dates but I decided to stay home and dye my eyebrows. | 110 |
| Arthur Miller | The structure of a play is always the story of how the birds came home to roost. | 110 |
| Babe Ruth | I had only one superstition. I made sure to touch all the bases when I hit a home run. | 110 |
| Barbara Bush | Well, look at what people are doing for returned veterans now. The wounded warriors. They're working hard to make the wounded veterans feel that they are loved and welcomed home, unlike Vietnam. It was not a very kind, gentle world then. I think we are kinder and gentler. | 110 |
| Barbara Ehrenreich | I know that the last thing a book wants is to just sit around unread, serving as an element of interior decorating. So when I have people over, all they have to do is glance at my books, and I implore them to take a few home with them. If I am really ambitious, I pack books into boxes and donate them to prisons. | 110 |
| Billy Sunday | Hypocrites in the Church? Yes, and in the lodge and at the home. Don't hunt through the Church for a hypocrite. Go home and look in the mirror. Hypocrites? Yes. See that you make the number one less. | 110 |
| Chris Hadfield | Ever since I was nine years old and I watched Neil and Buzz walk on the moon, I have felt passionately that this is an interesting human adventure. This is one of the things we're doing that is really fundamentally important, as we leave our home planet, but also exciting. | 110 |
| Dane Cook | In school I was pretty quiet. Kinda shy until my junior year. But at home I was a freak. | 110 |
| David Mamet | Here's what happens in a play. You get involved in a situation where something is unbalanced. If nothing's unbalanced, there's no reason to have a play. If Hamlet comes home from school, and his dad's not dead and asks him if he's had a good time, it's boring. But if something's unbalanced, it must be returned to order. | 110 |
| Hank Aaron | The triple is the most exciting play in baseball. Home runs win a lot of games, but I never understood why fans are so obsessed with them. | 110 |
| Isabel Allende | I have lived with passion and in a hurry, trying to accomplish too many things. I never had time to think about my beliefs until my 28-year-old daughter Paula fell ill. She was in a coma for a year, and I took care of her at home until she died in my arms in December of 1992. | 110 |
| John Lasseter | I loved animation and cartoons, even when it was not cool when you were in high school. I raced home to see the Bugs Bunny cartoons. | 110 |
| Julia Roberts | You can be true to the character all you want but you've got to go home with yourself. | 110 |
| Linus Torvalds | I'm sitting in my home office wearing a bathrobe. The same way I'm not going to start wearing ties, I'm also not going to buy into the fake politeness, the lying, the office politics and backstabbing, the passive aggressiveness, and the buzzwords. | 110 |
| Mark Cuban | If you think back to the first sporting event you went to, you don't remember the score, you don't remember a home run, you don't remember a dunk. You remember who you were with. Were you with your mom, your dad, your brother, on a date? | 110 |
| Neil Patrick Harris | With the Tonys it's a little tricky because a lot of the funnier jokes are more insider, so people watching at home may not get a Julie Taymor reference the way that New Yorkers would. So you have to figure out what comedy plays to a large audience and still respect the individuals who are there. | 110 |
| Olivia Newton-John | To me luxury is to be at home with my daughter, and the occasional massage doesn't hurt. | 110 |
| Ron Paul | I think a submarine is a very worthwhile weapon. I believe we can defend ourselves with submarines and all our troops back at home. This whole idea that we have to be in 130 countries and 900 bases... is an old-fashioned idea. | 110 |
| Sylvia Earle | For humans, the Arctic is a harshly inhospitable place, but the conditions there are precisely what polar bears require to survive - and thrive. 'Harsh' to us is 'home' for them. Take away the ice and snow, increase the temperature by even a little, and the realm that makes their lives possible literally melts away. | 110 |
| Tom Hodgkinson | Long weekends at festivals, short weeks at home, all summer long: now that is surely preferable to the immense cost and headache of the nuclear family holiday in the sun? | 110 |
| Trey Songz | I once took the key off my girlfriend's key ring so that I could surprise her when she got home. So I did this whole romantic setup in our bedroom with flowers and rose petals. She was so mad when she got home, but then when she walked in, she was so surprised. | 110 |
| Wolfgang Puck | In L.A. you live in a big city, but you feel like you're in the countryside. For example, I can be at home in the swimming pool and be five minutes from everything. | 110 |
| Abbas Kiarostami | The world is my workshop. It is not my home. | 110 |
| Mickey Mantle | After I hit a home run I had a habit of running the bases with my head down. I figured the pitcher already felt bad enough without me showing him up rounding the bases. | 110 |
| Julius Erving | I think I started learning lessons about being a good person long before I ever knew what basketball was. And that starts in the home, it starts with the parental influence. | 110 |
| Christopher Hitchens | And when I was young, my family was perfectly nice. I write a lot about it, as you noticed. But it was rather limited. I think, I don't think anyone in my family would really feel I'd done them an injustice by saying that. We didn't see many people. There were many books. It was as if I wanted to get away from home. | 111 |
| Pope John Paul II | I kiss the soil as if I placed a kiss on the hands of a mother, for the homeland is our earthly mother. I consider it my duty to be with my compatriots in this sublime and difficult moment. | 111 |
| Rosa Parks | All I was doing was trying to get home from work. | 111 |
| Woody Allen | Basically my wife was immature. I'd be at home in the bath and she'd come in and sink my boats. | 111 |
| Brad Pitt | My kids are just waiting for me at home. I'm their father. They're wondering, 'When's Daddy coming home?' | 111 |
| Buffalo Bill | The first presentation of my show was given in May, 1883, at Omaha, which I had then chosen as my home. From there we made our first summer tour, visiting practically every important city in the country. | 111 |
| Chance The Rapper | There's nothing like doing a show at home. When you do a show in Chicago, there's just a certain love that you don't feel anywhere else; it's like home base. | 111 |
| E. W. Howe | The worst feeling in the world is the homesickness that comes over a man occasionally when he is at home. | 111 |
| Eddie Van Halen | When I'm home on a break, I lock myself in my room and play guitar. After two or three hours, I start getting into this total meditation. It's a feeling few people experience, and that's usually when I come up with weird stuff. It just flows. I can't force myself. I don't sit down and say I've got to practice. | 111 |
| Floyd Mayweather, Jr. | Once I am in the square circle, I am in my home. | 111 |
| Jill Scott | To be a queen of a household is a powerful thing. | 111 |
| Michael Phelps | And, you know, being able to wear the stars and stripes, when you step up on one of the blocks or, you know, when you step off of an airplane or when you hear the national anthem play, you know, it's one of the greatest feelings in the world because you know that there are people at home who are supporting you and watching you. | 111 |
| Naomi Wolf | Of course a woman who decides to work full time as a mother in the home can be happy and deserves full respect from us. Motherhood is one of the most challenging and creative jobs anyone can do. The goal is to remake the world so that our choices are not so stark. | 111 |
| Pete Townshend | A lot of writing I do on tour. I do a lot on airplanes. At home, I write a lot, obviously. When I write a song, what I usually do is work the lyric out first from some basic idea that I had, and then I get an acoustic guitar and I sit by the tape recorder and I try to bang it out as it comes. | 111 |
| Roger Waters | It's a miracle was the last track recorded for the album, we based it on the rhythm from the middle of 'Late Home Tonight, where there's Graham Broad playing lots and lots of drums with me shouting in the background, pretending to be a mad Arab leader. | 111 |
| Umberto Eco | My maternal grandmother - she was a compulsive reader. She had only been through five grades of elementary school, but she was a member of the municipal library, and she brought home two or three books a week for me. They could be dime novels or Balzac. | 111 |
| William E. Gladstone | Remember the rights of the savage, as we call him. Remember that the happiness of his humble home, remember that the sanctity of life in the hill villages of Afghanistan, among the winter snows, is as inviolable in the eye of Almighty God, as can be your own. | 111 |
| Amitabh Bachchan | I like to feel the butterflies in the stomach, I like to go home and have a restless night and wonder how I'm going to be able to accomplish this feat, get jittery. That hunger and those butterflies in the stomach are very essential for all creative people. | 111 |
| Ayelet Waldman | During the periods in my marriage when I chose to stay home with my kids rather than work as an attorney, it caused me no end of anxiety. Despite the fact that I knew I was contributing to our family by caring for our children, I still felt that my worth was less because I wasn't earning. | 111 |
| James Dobson | Children are not casual guests in our home. They have been loaned to us temporarily for the purpose of loving them and instilling a foundation of values on which their future lives will be built. | 111 |
| Jose Andres | My mother and I were born in Mieres, Asturias, the most beautiful region you'll ever see in Europe and the home of Cabrales, a great blue cheese made in the Asturian mountains. When I was young, we moved to Barcelona. Whenever my mother was homesick for Asturias, she'd eat a little piece of Cabrales to bring her closer to Mieres. | 111 |
| Park Chan-wook | If your work requires you to travel, you will understand that there's no vacation destination like home. | 111 |
| Ryan Holmes | I grew up off the grid in Vernon, and I saw my parents work hard every day, as teachers but also while farming and building a log home. So from a young age I knew the value of hard work. | 111 |
| Taslima Nasrin | Women are oppressed in the east, in the west, in the south, in the north. Women are oppressed inside, outside home, a woman is oppressed in religion, she is oppressed outside religion. | 111 |
| Mother Teresa | Love begins by taking care of the closest ones - the ones at home. | 112 |
| Andy Warhol | I'm the type who'd be happy not going anywhere as long as I was sure I knew exactly what was happening at the places I wasn't going to. I'm the type who'd like to sit home and watch every party that I'm invited to on a monitor in my bedroom. | 112 |
| Brene Brown | I think if you follow anyone home, whether they live in Houston or London, and you sit at their dinner table and talk to them about their mother who has cancer or their child who is struggling in school, and their fears about watching their lives go by, I think we're all the same. | 112 |
| Ariana Grande | I don't feel much pressure to fit in. I never have. I've always just wanted to do my thing. I have really good friends and good family, and if I don't fit in somewhere else, I fit in at home. | 112 |
| Gabriel Garcia Marquez | Fiction was invented the day Jonas arrived home and told his wife that he was three days late because he had been swallowed by a whale. | 112 |
| Michael Caine | I think what is British about me is my feelings and awareness of others and their situations. English people are always known to be well mannered and cold but we are not cold - we don't interfere in your situation. If we are heartbroken, we don't scream in your face with tears - we go home and cry on our own. | 112 |
| Mike Huckabee | Divorce is one of the key predictors of poverty for a child growing up in a home that's broken. | 112 |
| Naomi Wolf | What we should notice is that studies show that fathers' presence in their children's lives has a marked effect on how well their kids do later in life, so why aren't we asking how we can better liberate men from the workplace to be home with their kids more often? | 112 |
| Paris Hilton | Yes, I've kissed a lot of guys. I like to kiss, but that's it. I don't go home with anyone. I sleep with my animals, like my baby monkey, Brigitte Bardot. | 112 |
| Warren Farrell | We have been suckered into believing that, because there are more men at the top than women at the top, that this is a result of discrimination against women. That's been the misconception. It's all about trade-offs. You earn more money, you usually sacrifice something at home. | 112 |
| Andrew Weil | A beautiful bouquet or a long-lasting flowering plant is a traditional gift for women, but I have recommended that both men and women keep fresh flowers in the home for their beauty, fragrance, and the lift they give our spirits. | 112 |
| Doug Larson | Home computers are being called upon to perform many new functions, including the consumption of homework formerly eaten by the dog. | 112 |
| Jason Mraz | I try to acknowledge both the sacred and the silly in my work. That goes for the live show as well. If I find myself in my head or dwelling in seriousness, I think of my friends back home and how they'd be laughing at me. | 112 |
| Jose Andres | My family and I cook at home almost every day together. The kitchen is the central and most important room in the house; it's a great way for us to connect. We love going to the farmer's market on Sundays as a family and choosing the ingredients together. | 112 |
| Mahendra Singh Dhoni | I have three dogs at home. Even after losing a series or winning a series, they treat me the same way. | 112 |
| Marshawn Lynch | I don't know what story y'all trying to get out of me. I don't know what image y'all trying to portray of me. But it don't matter what y'all think, what y'all say about me because when I go home at night, the same people that I look in the face - my family that I love, that's all that really matter to me. | 112 |
| Summer Sanders | I lead by example. My kids know what sweat is. They've seen me come home from so many runs and asked, 'What's on your skin? How did you get it?' And I tell them, 'It's from exercise!' So now my son will come home from a bike ride, take off his helmet and say, 'Look, Mom. I'm sweating! I just worked out!' | 112 |
| Angie Stone | I'm the type of woman you might say is too good. I'll massage a man's feet, have dinner cooked when he gets home. But once they leave, the door is closed, and the locks are changed. | 112 |
| Jonathan Davis | When you live on the road, going home is a place to escape and just be with your family to unwind. | 112 |
| Indra Nooyi | BlogHer is an incredibly important conference because it really taps into the power of women. It gives women an ability to do what they do - take care of the home, go to work - and, at the same time, spread their power through the power of the digital world. | 113 |
| Bill Dedman | The Adversity Index was created by msnbc.com and Moody's Analytics to track the economic fortunes of states and metro areas. Each month, the Adversity Index uses government data on employment, industrial production, housing starts and home prices to label each area as expanding, at risk of recession, in recession or recovering. | 113 |
| Chris Brown | Since I'm always working, my best holiday memories are definitely when I can just go home and spend time with my family. | 113 |
| Don King | My hair is God's aura. Everything went up when I got home from the penitentiary. One night I went to lie down next to my wife, and my hair started popping and uncurling all on its own - ping, ping, ping, ping! I knew that it was God telling me to stay on the righteous path so he could one day pull me up to be there with him. | 113 |
| Erno Rubik | Like after a nice walk when you have seen many lovely sights you decide to go home, after a while I decided it was time to go home, let us put the cubes back in order. And it was at that moment that I came face to face with the Big Challenge: What is the way home? | 113 |
| Lucille Ball | You see much more of your children once they leave home. | 113 |
| Paul Theroux | What draws me in is that a trip is a leap in the dark. It's like a metaphor for life. You set off from home, and in the classic travel book, you go to an unknown place. You discover a different world, and you discover yourself. | 113 |
| Vivek Wadhwa | When I start getting embroiled in heated debates and feeling stressed, I just turn everything off and disconnect from the world. I simply tell my colleagues and friends that I am not well and need to cancel all meetings for a day or more. I take it easy - go for a long hike, take a vacation somewhere, or just stay at home and read. | 113 |
| Cyril Connolly | Words today are like the shells and rope of seaweed which a child brings home glistening from the beach and which in an hour have lost their luster. | 113 |
| Earl Wilson | Home, nowadays, is a place where part of the family waits till the rest of the family brings the car back. | 113 |
| Jay Leno | Major league baseball has asked its players to stop tossing baseballs into the stands during games, because they say fans fight over them and they get hurt. In fact, the Florida Marlins said that's why they never hit any home runs. It's a safety issue. | 113 |
| Saina Nehwal | Unlike most youngsters who have school as their 'second home' where they meet and make friends, for me playtime has been at the Gopichand Badminton Academy in Hyderabad. When I am not playing a tournament, my days are spent at the Academy with my coaches, physiotherapists and colleagues, who are like family. We laugh and have so much fun. | 113 |
| Mike Tyson | You come home, and you party. But after that, you get a hangover. Everything about that is negative. | 114 |
| Brad Goreski | I shop online mostly. I like to shop from the comfort of my own home without a sales person bugging me. | 114 |
| Chris Kyle | You're in a combat zone one day. You come home, and then you have to readjust, and it takes a few days. We just sit in the house, hang with the family and then things get better. | 114 |
| Deepika Padukone | I have a lot of friends, but my biggest fear is loneliness. I miss my family in Mumbai, and my biggest nightmare every day is to go back home alone. | 114 |
| Ed Sheeran | But once you've made a song and you put it out there, you don't own it anymore. The public own it. It's their song. It might be their song that they wake up to, or their song they have a shower to, or their song that they drive home to or their song they cry to, scream to, have babies to, have weddings to - like, it isn't your song anymore. | 114 |
| Emmeline Pankhurst | Often I have heard the taunt that suffragists are women who have failed to find any normal outlet for their emotions, and are therefore soured and disappointed beings. This is probably not true of any suffragist, and it is most certainly not true of me. My home life and relations have been as nearly ideal as possible in this imperfect world. | 114 |
| John Lasseter | Sunday, for me, is all about being home with the family with no plans. | 114 |
| Layne Staley | At home I'm just a guy who has interests that extend far beyond music. | 114 |
| Nhat Hanh | Mindfulness helps you go home to the present. And every time you go there and recognize a condition of happiness that you have, happiness comes. | 114 |
| Thierry Henry | So when I go home, sometimes, even when I had an amazing game, I always think about what I missed. | 114 |
| Tina Fey | We're all comedy fans in my family. My parents mainly wouldn't let me watch stuff that was either annoying to them, or just garbage. My dad wouldn't let us watch 'The Flintstones' if he was home, because he said it was a rip-off of 'The Honeymooners'. But he would let us stay up really late in the summer and watch old 'Honeymooners'. | 114 |
| Amos Bronson Alcott | Where there is a mother in the home, matters go well. | 114 |
| Carl Honore | When moms stayed home, it was easier just to let the kids play around the house. But as women entered the workplace and the extended family dissolved, someone else had to pick up the slack on the child-care front. Extracurricular activities fit the bill perfectly, promising not only supervision but also enrichment. | 114 |
| Julian Baggini | Looking out over the port of Dover, with the endless steam of boats coming in and out, every British citizen is reminded that belonging here has never been about blood or genes. It's simply about being at home on this discrete island and being aware of the privileges and responsibilities that brings. | 114 |
| Russell Baker | What the New Yorker calls home would seem like a couple of closets to most Americans, yet he manages not only to live there but also to grow trees and cockroaches right on the premises. | 114 |
| Confucius | The strength of a nation derives from the integrity of the home. | 115 |
| Mother Teresa | Love begins at home, and it is not how much we do... but how much love we put in that action. | 115 |
| Dale Carnegie | Men of age object too much, consult too long, adventure too little, repent too soon, and seldom drive business home to the full period, but content themselves with a mediocrity of success. | 115 |
| Gloria Steinem | The deepest change begins with men raising children as much as women do and women being equal actors in the world outside the home. There are many ways of supporting that, from something as simple as paid sick leave and flexible work hours to attributing an economic value to all caregiving and making that amount tax deductible. | 115 |
| Kim Kardashian | The perfect date for me would be staying at home, making a big picnic in bed, eating Wotsits and cookies while watching cable TV. | 115 |
| LeBron James | Akron, Ohio, is my home. It will always be remembered. Akron, Ohio, is my life. | 115 |
| Carine Roitfeld | 'Grandmother' doesn't mean that you have gray hair and you retire and stay home cooking cakes for your grandchildren. | 115 |
| Cat Stevens | I was brought up in the modern world of all the luxury and the highlight of show business. I was born into a Christian home. | 115 |
| Henny Youngman | Do you know what it means to come home at night to a woman who'll give you a little love, a little affection, a little tenderness? It means you're in the wrong house, that's what it means. | 115 |
| John Updike | Most of American life consists of driving somewhere and then returning home, wondering why the hell you went. | 115 |
| Lupe Fiasco | Some stuff I don't even put out. I'll just be home, happy, creating something for myself, and then ball it up and throw it in the trash. It's less about trying to prove something or get on somebody's list or make a fan happy or make a hater mad or convert a non-believer. That's not the case for me anymore. | 115 |
| Nicolas Cage | I've gotten pretty good at leaving characters on the set. I go home and try to relax and regroup and be ready for the next day. | 115 |
| Rafael Nadal | Being home alone at night makes me a bit nervous. If I'm at home alone, I have to sleep on the sofa - I can't face going to bed. I'm there with the TV on and all the lights on. I'm not very brave about anything in life. In tennis, yes. In everything else, not very. | 115 |
| Rick Warren | The Bible tells us that Jesus Christ came to do three things. He came to have my past forgiven, you get a purpose for living and a home in Heaven. | 115 |
| Ronda Rousey | If I could have had everything exactly the way I wanted, this is how I would have written it down. Win all my fights in the first round, then go to the UFC and headline a show, and have it as a pay-per-view and at home. People's dreams don't come true like that. | 115 |
| Sheryl Sandberg | It's more pressure on women to - if they marry or partner with someone, to partner with the right person. Because you cannot have a full career and a full life at home with your children if you are also doing all of the housework and child care. | 115 |
| Whitney Houston | You can fool people. You can fool anybody anytime of the day, but you can't fool yourself. At night, when you go home, you've got to be straight up with you. | 115 |
| Emily Dickinson | Where thou art, that is home. | 116 |
| Johann Wolfgang von Goethe | He is happiest, be he king or peasant, who finds peace in his home. | 116 |
| Rodney Dangerfield | My wife met me at the door the other night in a sexy negligee. Unfortunately, she was just coming home. | 116 |
| Thich Nhat Hanh | Breathe in deeply to bring your mind home to your body. Then look at, or think of, the person triggering this emotion: With mindfulness, you can see that she is unhappy, that she is suffering. You can see her wrong perceptions. You can see that she is not beautiful when she says things that are unkind. | 116 |
| Derek Jeter | I'm not a hermit, but I definitely stay in a lot more than I used to. There's more attention now then there ever was. You walk down the street with someone and it's a story. It becomes national news, you know what I mean? So, I still do things, but I stay home a lot more. | 116 |
| Gisele Bundchen | I'm not a potato sack; I've never sat on my couch. If I'm home, I'm cleaning, feeding my dogs, doing stuff. Life is too precious to waste time. | 116 |
| Hulk Hogan | The coolest thing, and I have it at home, is a huge Hulk Hogan, normal-sized pinball machine. When people come over they play it for hours. When you hit the bumpers and the bells ring it goes, 'Oh yeah!' The whole time you're playing this machine it's yelling and screaming at you, 'What you gonna do, brother?!' I think that's the coolest. | 116 |
| Joseph Conrad | Going home must be like going to render an account. | 116 |
| Josh Billings | I think when the full horror of being fifty hits you, you should stay home and have a good cry. | 116 |
| Niall Horan | I actually haven't been on many dates, but I like just chilling around at home and watching a movie with a girl. | 116 |
| Quentin Tarantino | I've always thought my soundtracks do pretty good, because they're basically professional equivalents of a mix tape I'd make for you at home. | 116 |
| Shigeru Miyamoto | There's definitely space for uniqueness in a home console. | 116 |
| Virginia Postrel | Society needs both parents and nonparents, both the work party and the home party. While raising children is the most important work most people will do, not everyone is cut out for parenthood. And, as many a childless teacher has proved, raising kids is not the only important contribution a person can make to their future. | 116 |
| Wole Soyinka | There is only one home to the life of a river-mussel; there is only one home to the life of a tortoise; there is only one shell to the soul of man: there is only one world to the spirit of our race. If that world leaves its course and smashes on boulders of the great void, whose world will give us shelter? | 116 |
| Amelia Earhart | The more one does and sees and feels, the more one is able to do, and the more genuine may be one's appreciation of fundamental things like home, and love, and understanding companionship. | 117 |
| Angelina Jolie | I never thought I'd have children; I never thought I'd be in love, I never thought I'd meet the right person. Having come from a broken home - you kind of accept that certain things feel like a fairy tale, and you just don't look for them. | 117 |
| James Joyce | Think you're escaping and run into yourself. Longest way round is the shortest way home. | 117 |
| Britney Spears | I'm a hometown girl, and my personality at home is the opposite of the performer in me. But then, when I'm home and haven't done anything for a while, I get really itchy and nervous and weird-feeling. | 117 |
| Chris Kyle | You're not just going out there, maybe sacrificing your own life. There's also sacrifices still going on at home. You can serve in the military and have a good marriage, but you just need to be aware of it so you can take those steps to take care of it. | 117 |
| Ogden Nash | Middle age is when you're sitting at home on a Saturday night and the telephone rings and you hope it isn't for you. | 117 |
| Queen Latifah | There are a lot of people who helped make Queen Latifah who she is today. I don't forget, but a lot of people do and get big heads. My mom will make me walk the dogs or take out the trash when I go home. I'm not allowed to get a big head; I've still got to do the simple things in life. | 117 |
| Sachin Tendulkar | I get 0.5 seconds to react to a ball, sometimes even less than that. I can't be thinking of what XYZ has said about me. I need to surrender myself to my natural instincts. My subconscious mind knows exactly what to do. It is trained to react. At home, my family doesn't discuss media coverage. | 117 |
| Jeff Bezos | The killer app that got the world ready for appliances was the light bulb. So the light bulb is what wired the world. And they weren't thinking about appliances when they wired the world. They were really thinking about - they weren't putting electricity into the home. They were putting lighting into the home. | 118 |
| Jimmy Carter | I don't claim to be knowledgeable about theology. Most of my knowledge comes out of my experience and the lessons in the Bible. Every Sunday I'm home I teach 45 minutes and we boiled them down to one page for the new book, 'Through the Year with Jimmy Carter.' | 118 |
| Ban Ki-moon | This Earth is our only home. Together, we must protect and cherish it. | 118 |
| Bernie Mac | You don't see me in Los Angeles a lot. I go back home. Because I can't play the game. I can't - my tolerance - I know I'm getting old; I'll be 50 this year. And you know how I know I'm getting old? 'Cause my tolerance level is low. | 118 |
| Denzel Washington | My mother never gave up one me. I messed up in school so much they were sending me home, but my mother sent me right back. | 118 |
| Ezra Taft Benson | The undermining of the home and family is on the increase with the devil anxiously working to displace the father as the head of the home and create rebellion among the children. | 118 |
| Heath Ledger | Anyone that has a job that takes them away from home, I think, can understand the difficulties in maintaining consistency, not only with your family and those you love but with your friends. | 118 |
| Kin Hubbard | Of all the home remedies, a good wife is best. | 118 |
| Marlene Dietrich | A man would prefer to come home to an unmade bed and a happy woman than to a neatly made bed and an angry woman. | 118 |
| Sheryl Sandberg | I'm not telling women to be like men. I'm telling us to evaluate what men and women do in the workforce and at home without the gender bias. | 118 |
| Alan Moore | Don't leave home without your sword - your intellect. | 118 |
| Cameron Diaz | Believe me, you can get into a lot of trouble being sixteen years old in a foreign country with no adult telling you when to come home. | 118 |
| Margaret Thatcher | I just owe almost everything to my father and it's passionately interesting for me that the things that I learned in a small town, in a very modest home, are just the things that I believe have won the election. | 119 |
| Rosa Parks | You spend your whole lifetime in your occupation, actually making life clever, easy and convenient for white people. But when you have to get transportation home, you are denied an equal accommodation. Our existence was for the white man's comfort and well-being; we had to accept being deprived of just being human. | 119 |
| Joel Osteen | See, when you drive home today, you've got a big windshield on the front of your car. And you've got a little bitty rearview mirror. And the reason the windshield is so large and the rearview mirror is so small is because what's happened in your past is not near as important as what's in your future. | 119 |
| Bill Murray | I go home and stay there. I wash and scrub up each day, and that's it. One month I actually grew a moustache, just so I could say that I'd done something. | 119 |
| Camille Paglia | Now that virtually every career is an option for ambitious girls, it can no longer be considered regressive or reactionary to reintroduce discussion of marriage and motherhood to primary education. We certainly do not want to return to the simplistic duality of home economics classes for girls and wood shop for boys. | 119 |
| George Clooney | Hosting is work. It means you don't get to go up to your room and disappear and take a nap. Like everybody else does after lunch. I'm talking about hosting, not hosting a dinner party, but hosting people staying in your home. | 119 |
| Ellen DeGeneres | We have two dogs, Mabel and Wolf, and three cats at home, Charlie, George and Chairman. We have two cats on our farm, Tom and Little Sister, two horses, and two mini horses, Hannah and Tricky. We also have two cows, Holy and Madonna. And those are only the animals we let sleep in our bed. | 120 |
| Eminem | Say there's a white kid who lives in a nice home, goes to an all-white school, and is pretty much having everything handed to him on a platter - for him to pick up a rap tape is incredible to me, because what that's saying is that he's living a fantasy life of rebellion. | 120 |
| Hillary Clinton | I suppose I could have stayed home and baked cookies and had teas. | 120 |
| John Stuart Mill | There are many truths of which the full meaning cannot be realized until personal experience has brought it home. | 120 |
| LeBron James | Sometimes in the past when I played something might make me lose focus, or I would go home after a game where I thought I could have played better and I would let it hang over my head for a long time when it shouldn't. | 120 |
| Rosa Parks | My only concern was to get home after a hard day's work. | 120 |
| Alfred Hitchcock | Television has brought back murder into the home - where it belongs. | 120 |
| Henri Nouwen | Prayer is the most concrete way to make our home in God. | 120 |
| Zig Ziglar | I believe that being successful means having a balance of success stories across the many areas of your life. You can't truly be considered successful in your business life if your home life is in shambles. | 120 |
| Bette Davis | Basically, I believe the world is a jungle, and if it's not a bit of a jungle in the home, a child cannot possibly be fit to enter the outside world. | 120 |
| Herman Hesse | One never reaches home, but wherever friendly paths intersect the whole world looks like home for a time. | 120 |
| Michael Moore | The movie theater is never going away. If that was a case why are there still restaurants? People still have kitchens in their home! | 120 |
| Nassim Nicholas Taleb | We are victims of the post-Enlightenment view that the world functions like a sophisticated machine, to be understood like a textbook engineering problem and run by wonks. In other words, like a home appliance, not like the human body. | 120 |
| Peter Singer | Most of the robots being developed for home use are functional in design - Gecko's homecare robot looks rather like the Star Wars robot R2-D2. Honda and Sony are designing robots that look more like the same movie's 'android' C-3PO. | 120 |
| Phillips Brooks | Charity should begin at home, but should not stay there. | 120 |
| Roald Dahl | Unless you have been to boarding-school when you are very young, it is absolutely impossible to appreciate the delights of living at home. | 120 |
| Scott Adams | The greenest home is the one you don't build. If you really want to save the Earth, move in with another family and share a house that's already built. Better yet, live in the forest and eat whatever the squirrels don't want. | 120 |
| Erma Bombeck | Once you get a spice in your home, you have it forever. Women never throw out spices. The Egyptians were buried with their spices. I know which one I'm taking with me when I go. | 121 |
| LeBron James | But now, being a parent, I go home and see my son and I forget about any mistake I ever made or the reason I'm upset. I get home and my son is smiling or he comes running to me. It has just made me grow as an individual and grow as a man. | 121 |
| Susan B. Anthony | An oligarchy of race, where the Saxon rules the African, might be endured; but this oligarchy of sex which makes father, brothers, husband, sons, the oligarchs over the mother and sisters, the wife and daughters of every household... carries discord and rebellion into every home of the nation. | 121 |
| Lionel Messi | I've always really just liked football, and I've always devoted a lot of time to it. When I was a kid, my friends would call me to go out with them, but I would stay home because I had practice the next day. I like going out, but you have to know when you can and when you can't. | 121 |
| Gisele Bundchen | I'm a very private person. I like staying home and doing my stuff. I hate people invading on my privacy. I hate talking about my private life. | 121 |
| Nikki Sixx | It's interesting. People go to an animal shelter and pick a dog that's been kicked, beaten, and has lost a leg and an eye, and they'll take that dog home and give it love and support, but they don't do that with people. | 121 |
| Paul Theroux | The two impulses in travel are to get away from home, and the other is to pursue something - a landscape, people, an exotic place. Certainly finding a place that you like or discovering something unusual is a very sustaining thing in travel. | 121 |
| Rand Paul | You can't have it both ways. You can't tell me that you're taxed enough already, and that you want constitutional government and then in the next breath say, 'Bring me home some bacon.' The pig has been picked clean. | 121 |
| Thich Nhat Hanh | To meditate means to go home to yourself. Then you know how to take care of the things that are happening inside you, and you know how to take care of the things that happen around you. | 122 |
| Tupac Shakur | If I win and get the money, then the Oakland Police department is going to buy a boys' home, me a house, my family a house, and a Stop Police Brutality Center. | 122 |
| Phyllis Diller | Always be nice to your children because they are the ones who will choose your rest home. | 122 |
| Lionel Messi | I've never stopped being Argentine, and I've never wanted to. I feel very proud of being Argentine, even though I left there. I've been clear about this since I was very young, and I never wanted to change. Barcelona is my home because both the club and the people here have given me everything, but I won't stop being Argentine. | 122 |
| Amy Grant | Since I travel so much, it's always great to be home. There's nothing like getting to raid my own refrigerator at two in the morning. | 122 |
| Denzel Washington | It's simple: You get a part. You play a part. You play it well. You do your work and you go home. And what is wonderful about movies is that once they're done, they belong to the people. Once you make it, it's what they see. That's where my head is at. | 122 |
| Steve Jobs | The most compelling reason for most people to buy a computer for the home will be to link it to a nationwide communications network. We're just in the beginning stages of what will be a truly remarkable breakthrough for most people - as remarkable as the telephone. | 123 |
| Billy Graham | My home is in Heaven. I'm just traveling through this world. | 123 |
| Dale Carnegie | If you want to conquer fear, don't sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy. | 123 |

| Brene Brown | The best marriages are the ones where we can go out in the world and really put ourselves out there. A lot of times we'll fail, and sometimes we'll pull it off. But good marriages are when you can go home and know that your vulnerability will be honored as courage, and that you'll find support. | 123 |
| Jeff Bezos | The one thing that offends me the most is when I walk by a bank and see ads trying to convince people to take out second mortgages on their home so they can go on vacation. That's approaching evil. | 123 |
| Arthur Ashe | I have always drawn strength from being close to home. | 123 |
| Richard Pryor | I think about being married again, having a home and a wife. No one can ever be married too many times, and maybe if I keep trying I'll get it right one day. | 123 |
| Erma Bombeck | For years my wedding ring has done its job. It has led me not into temptation. It has reminded my husband numerous times at parties that it's time to go home. It has been a source of relief to a dinner companion. It has been a status symbol in the maternity ward. | 124 |
| James Madison | It is a universal truth that the loss of liberty at home is to be charged to the provisions against danger, real or pretended, from abroad. | 124 |
| Richard Bach | The simplest questions are the most profound. Where were you born? Where is your home? Where are you going? What are you doing? Think about these once in a while and watch your answers change. | 124 |
| Alan Rickman | I'm still living the life where you get home and open the fridge and there's half a pot of yogurt and a half a can of flat Coca-Cola. | 124 |
| Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. | Don't you stay at home of evenings? Don't you love a cushioned seat in a corner, by the fireside, with your slippers on your feet? | 125 |
| Ashton Kutcher | I don't buy these rag magazines that feed off of stolen, you know, press. They're basically stealing someone's image in order to make money for themselves... They wait at the end of my street in their cars. Every time I exit my home, I have company. | 125 |
| Casey Stengel | Managing is getting paid for home runs that someone else hits. | 125 |

| Bear Grylls | Christianity is not about religion. It's about faith, about being held, about being forgiven. It's about finding joy and finding home. | 126 |
| R. Buckminster Fuller | Let architects sing of aesthetics that bring Rich clients in hordes to their knees; Just give me a home, in a great circle dome Where stresses and strains are at ease. | 126 |
| Anthony Hopkins | Years ago I met Richard Burton in Port Talbot, my home town, and afterwards he passed in his car with his wife, and I thought, 'I want to get out and become like him'. Not because of Wales, because I love Wales, but because I was so limited as a child at school and so bereft and lonely, and I thought becoming an actor would do that. | 126 |
| Shah Rukh Khan | I could lie and say my wife cooks for me, but she doesn't. My wife has never learnt cooking but she has great cooks at home. | 126 |
| Moby | I'd much rather go out and have music randomly presented to me by different DJs than stay home and discover it on my own. | 126 |
| Rodney Dangerfield | A girl phoned me the other day and said... 'Come on over, there's nobody home.' I went over. Nobody was home. | 201 |

| George Foreman | I wanted to be the best street fighter in Houston, Texas. And I thought if I got a trophy or two, I'd go back home, and everyone would be afraid of me. I had one fight in '67, the first one. In '68 of October, I was an Olympic gold-medalist, a dream come true, with a total of 25 boxing matches. | 201 |
| Jesse Jackson | People internalize, from the jail to student loan debt, to credit card debt, to unemployment to the whole collective. It manifests itself in many ways, in people's home lives, domestic stuff. | 201 |
| Kin Hubbard | Kindness goes a long ways lots of times when it ought to stay at home. | 201 |
| Confucius | A youth, when at home, should be filial and, abroad, respectful to his elders. He should be earnest and truthful. He should overflow in love to all and cultivate the friendship of the good. When he has time and opportunity, after the performance of these things, he should employ them in polite studies. | 202 |
| George Santayana | It takes patience to appreciate domestic bliss; volatile spirits prefer unhappiness. | 202 |
| Taylor Swift | I am alone a lot, which is good. I need that time to just be alone after a long day, just decompress. So, I go to either my house or the hotel, or my apartment, or whatever - wherever I am, I go home and I watch TV and I sit there, with my cat, and I just watch TV or go online, check my emails. | 202 |
| Amy Winehouse | I was hit by a car once on my bike, but I still rode home. | 202 |
| Jeff Foxworthy | I say, If everybody in this house lives where it's God first, friends and family second and you third, we won't ever have an argument. | 202 |
| Nicolas Cage | When I was eight, I would look at the cover of the 'Ghost Rider' comic book in my little home in Long Beach, California, and I couldn't get my head around how something that scary could also be good. To me it was my first philosophical awakening - 'How is this possible, this duality?' | 202 |
| Audrey Hepburn | If my world were to cave in tomorrow, I would look back on all the pleasures, excitements and worthwhilenesses I have been lucky enough to have had. Not the sadness, not my miscarriages or my father leaving home, but the joy of everything else. It will have been enough. | 203 |
| Eminem | I didn't have nothin' going for me... school, home... until I found something I loved, which was music, and that changed everything. | 203 |
| T. S. Eliot | Home is where one starts from. | 203 |
| Neil Gaiman | As a kid, I would get my parents to drop me off at my local library on their way to work during the summer holidays, and I would walk home at night. For several years, I read the children's library until I finished the children's library. Then I moved into the adult library and slowly worked my way through them. | 203 |
| Stephen King | I watched Titanic when I got back home from the hospital, and cried. I knew that my IQ had been damaged. | 203 |
| Charles Stanley | Think about the comfortable feeling you have as you open your front door. That's but a hint of what we'll feel some day on arriving at the place our Father has lovingly and personally prepared for us in heaven. We will finally - and permanently - be 'at home' in a way that defies description. | 203 |
| Howard Schultz | When I first discovered in the early 1980s the Italian espresso bars in my trip to Italy, the vision was to re-create that for America - a third place that had not existed before. Starbucks re-created that in America in our own image; a place to go other than home or work. We also created an industry that did not exist: specialty coffee. | 203 |
| Jill Scott | I didn't leave home until 27. I was an only child raised in Philadelphia by my mother and grandmother. My grandmother controlled the stove. She made a lot of potato meals - mashed potato, potato souffle, potato pancakes. When we didn't have electricity, we ate romantically by candlelight. | 203 |
| Bill Gates | In ninth grade, I came up with a new form of rebellion. I hadn't been getting good grades, but I decided to get all A's without taking a book home. I didn't go to math class, because I knew enough and had read ahead, and I placed within the top 10 people in the nation on an aptitude exam. | 204 |
| Dolly Parton | The only way I'd be caught without makeup is if my radio fell in the bathtub while I was taking a bath and electrocuted me and I was in between makeup at home. I hope my husband would slap a little lipstick on me before he took me to the morgue. | 204 |
| John Muir | Going to the woods is going home, for I suppose we came from the woods originally. But in some of nature's forests, the adventurous traveler seems a feeble, unwelcome creature; wild beasts and the weather trying to kill him, the rank, tangled vegetation, armed with spears and stinging needles, barring his way and making life a hard struggle. | 204 |
| Robin Williams | When I went home from Juilliard, I couldn't find acting work. | 204 |

| James Madison | Perhaps it is a universal truth that the loss of liberty at home is to be charged to provisions against danger, real or pretended, from abroad. | 205 |
| Henry B. Eyring | The feeling of longing for home is born into us. That wonderful dream cannot become real without great faith - enough for the Holy Ghost to lead us to repentance, baptism, and the making and keeping of sacred covenants with God. This faith requires enduring bravely the trials of mortal life. | 205 |
| Suze Orman | Yes, your kids should go to school. No, you shouldn't bankroll their degree whatever the cost. You've spent your life creating a sound financial plan; don't upend it by suspending your retirement savings or taking out a home equity line of credit to pay for a pricey college. | 205 |
| Will Ferrell | I left home to go to college, and then I moved back home. I moved back for three years from 21 to 24. | 205 |

| Conor McGregor | I train and I go home, and when I'm home, I think about training. That's my life every day, and that's it. | 207 |

| Mae West | Ten men waiting for me at the door? Send one of them home, I'm tired. | 207 |
| Margaret Mead | One of the oldest human needs is having someone to wonder where you are when you don't come home at night. | 207 |

| Yogi Berra | You don't have to swing hard to hit a home run. If you got the timing, it'll go. | 207 |

| Dave Grohl | Ladies and gentlemen, god bless America - land of the free, home of the brave. | 207 |
| Lou Holtz | At home I have a copy of the April 21, 1986, issue of 'Sports Illustrated.' I'm on the cover with the blurb, 'Can Lou Do It?' I'd just arrived at Notre Dame, and with spring football underway, I was the focal point of that week's coverage. | 208 |
| Muhammad Ali | At home I am a nice guy: but I don't want the world to know. Humble people, I've found, don't get very far. | 209 |
| Chuck Palahniuk | Find joy in everything you choose to do. Every job, relationship, home... it's your responsibility to love it, or change it. | 211 |
| George Bernard Shaw | The great advantage of a hotel is that it is a refuge from home life. | 212 |
| Les Brown | We are living in very challenging times. Pressured in the workplace and stressed out at home, people are trying to make sense of their lives. | 212 |
| Bob Dylan | My father probably thought the capital of the world was wherever he was at the time. It couldn't possibly be anyplace else. Where he and his wife were in their own home, that, for them, was the capital of the world. | 213 |
| Henry Rollins | So I'm more at home with my backpack, sleeping in a hotel room or on a bus or on an airplane, than I am necessarily on a bed. It's weird being here. It feels like I'm standing next to my real life. | 213 |
| Dalai Lama | Home is where you feel at home and are treated well. | 215 |
| Jane Austen | There is nothing like staying at home for real comfort. | 215 |

| Dolly Parton | When I'm home, I spend Sunday with my husband. If we're not cooking, we travel around in our camper, stop at fast-food restaurants, and picnic. We love that stuff that will harden your arteries in a hurry. | 217 |

| Ellen DeGeneres | I was coming home from kindergarten - well they told me it was kindergarten. I found out later I had been working in a factory for ten years. It's good for a kid to know how to make gloves. | 219 |
| Joseph B. Wirthlin | I remember the first time I met my wife, Elisa. As a favor to a friend, I had gone to her home to pick up her sister, Frances. Elisa opened the door, and at least for me, it was love at first sight. | 219 |
| Charles Dickens | Home is a name, a word, it is a strong one; stronger than magician ever spoke, or spirit ever answered to, in the strongest conjuration. | 220 |
| Orison Swett Marden | What power can poverty have over a home where loving hearts are beating with a consciousness of untold riches of the head and heart? | 220 |
| Ezra Taft Benson | Mothers play an important role as the heart of the home, but this in no way lessens the equally important role fathers should play, as head of the home, in nurturing, training, and loving their children. | 221 |

| Charles Dickens | Charity begins at home, and justice begins next door. | 224 |
| Daniel Radcliffe | As much as I would love to be a person that goes to parties and has a couple of drinks and has a nice time, that doesn't work for me. I'd just rather sit at home and read, or go out to dinner with someone, or talk to someone I love, or talk to somebody that makes me laugh. | 224 |
| Robert Kiyosaki | Bad debt is debt that makes you poorer. I count the mortgage on my home as bad debt, because I'm the one paying on it. Other forms of bad debt are car payments, credit card balances, or other consumer loans. | 224 |
| Robin Williams | I bought one of the first Nintendo systems and brought that home, and we were playing 'Legend of Zelda' at the time, and it was addicting, and I was playing it for hours and hours and hours. | 225 |
| W. C. Fields | I never worry about being driven to drink; I just worry about being driven home. | 226 |
| Lyndon B. Johnson | In our home there was always prayer - aloud, proud and unapologetic. | 301 |
| James E. Faust | I have the greatest respect for single parents who struggle and sacrifice, trying against almost superhuman odds to hold the family together. They should be honored and helped in their heroic efforts. But any mother's or father's task is much easier where there are two functioning parents in the home. | 301 |
| Margaret Thatcher | Any woman who understands the problems of running a home will be nearer to understanding the problems of running a country. | 307 |
| Friedrich Nietzsche | An artist has no home in Europe except in Paris. | 310 |

| Malcolm X | Being an old farm boy myself, chickens coming home to roost never did make me sad; they've always made me glad. | 312 |

| Joyce Meyer | When you become a Christian, something truly amazing happens: God comes to live inside your heart. You become the home of God. | 314 |
| Voltaire | The instruction we find in books is like fire. We fetch it from our neighbours, kindle it at home, communicate it to others, and it becomes the property of all. | 316 |
| Noam Chomsky | Before the 1970s, banks were banks. They did what banks were supposed to do in a state capitalist economy: they took unused funds from your bank account, for example, and transferred them to some potentially useful purpose like helping a family buy a home or send a kid to college. | 316 |
| Samuel Johnson | Prepare for death, if here at night you roam, and sign your will before you sup from home. | 323 |

| P. J. O'Rourke | I like making things. I have a wood shop at home. I am a terrible carpenter but I love doing it. | 324 |

| Wayne Dyer | My favorite affirmation when I feel stuck or out of sorts is: Whatever I need is already here, and it is all for my highest good. Jot this down and post it conspicuously throughout your home, on the dashboard of your car, at your office, on your microwave oven, and even in front of your toilets! | 325 |
| Ronald Reagan | We should declare war on North Vietnam. We could pave the whole country and put parking strips on it, and still be home by Christmas. | 405 |
| Zig Ziglar | Money is not the most important thing, but when you need it, there are few substitutes. So while I like the things money can buy, I love what money won't buy. It bought me a house but it won't buy me a home. It would buy me a companion but it won't buy me a friend. | 405 |
| John F. Kennedy | Israel was not created in order to disappear - Israel will endure and flourish. It is the child of hope and the home of the brave. It can neither be broken by adversity nor demoralized by success. It carries the shield of democracy and it honors the sword of freedom. | 407 |
| George Bernard Shaw | I dislike feeling at home when I am abroad. | 407 |

| Maya Angelou | I long, as does every human being, to be at home wherever I find myself. | 417 |
| Marilyn Monroe | My dinners at home are startlingly simple. Every night, I stop at the market near my hotel and pick up a steak, lamb chops or some liver, which I broil in the electric oven in my room. I usually eat four or five raw carrots with my meat, and that is all. I must be part rabbit; I never get bored with raw carrots. | 512 |
| Abraham Lincoln | In so far as the government lands can be disposed of, I am in favor of cutting up the wild lands into parcels so that every poor man may have a home. | 523 |
| Maya Angelou | I always knew from that moment, from the time I found myself at home in that little segregated library in the South, all the way up until I walked up the steps of the New York City library, I always felt, in any town, if I can get to a library, I'll be OK. It really helped me as a child, and that never left me. | 706 |
