Looking for Great "Home" Quotes... Spiritual, Funny, Inspiring, Sappy, Etc.

I have a large picture that sits on an easel that says this:

A man travels the world over in search of what he needs and returns HOME to find it (George Moore)

The word home is in all caps in the picture....everyone who comes to my house and reads it says it is a beautiful thought...I have to agree :-)

This is a quote that I have hanging on my family chore board... it is a quote that my dear father would tell me my whole life and i now find myself telling my children almost daily...

"Can't never did Jack Diddly"

Good Luck I think your idea is a great one.

It isn't quite "home" but the quote in my kitchen is "All because two people fell in love." I love it b/c our home and family started because 2 people fell in love. My grandmother would always look around when our family was together (about 35 and growing) and say "this all started with 2 people."

You can google "quotes about home" or search those types of quotes you listed, or even search scrapbooking quotes and you should find a lot of quotes, even a nice, short poem about a home that might look great there. I always have good luck finding quotes this way! Good luck!

I too was looking for the cutouts of the words family and such and found that if you search for "primitive" words - it has many sayings. Best wishes!

What a great idea! I found a website--lifequotes.com It has all kinds. You might have to do some looking to find something that you're looking for, but there are LOTS to choose from.

ETA: My mistake, it's not lifequotes--it's wisdomquotes.com
Sorry.

Home is where your story begins or Home is where they love you are two that I have seen that I liked

Home, where you are always loved

Whatever souls are made of, His and mine are the same

Family, a journey to forever

Life is not measured by the breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away

The Good Life, Good food, Good friends, Good memories

Always kiss me goodnight

"God, if I can't be skinny, please make my friends fat"

It always gets a laugh at my house.

A house is made of bricks and beams, a home is made of love and dreams.

Music is love looking for a word.

Insist on yourself. Never imitate.

Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless.

Love...and you shall be loved.

We taste and feel and see the truth. We do not reason ourselves into it.

Always keep your words soft and sweet, just in case

you have to eat them.

When we walk to the edge of all the light we have and take the step into the darkness of the unknown, we must believe that one of two things will happen. There will be something solid for us to stand on or we will be taught to fly. - Patrick Overton

Above and below me hovers the beautiful
I am surrounded by it
I am immersed in it
In my youth I am aware of it
And in old age I shall walk quietly
The beautiful trail.
--Native American Prayer

You are the joy of all joyous things,
You are the light of the beam of the sun,
You are the surpassing star of guidance,
You are the step of the deer on the hill,
You are the step of the horse in the river valley,
You are the shape of the swan of swimming,
You are the grace of all lovely graces.
--Old Gaelic Blessing

But if you have nothing at all to create, then perhaps you create yourself.
--Carl Jung

May the Warm Winds of Heaven
Blow softly upon your house.
May the Great Spirit
Bless all who enter there.
May your Mocassins
Make happy tracks
in many snows,
and may the Rainbow
Always touch your shoulder.

"There are three ways of dealing with difference: domination, compromise, and integration. By domination only one side gets what it wants; by compromise neither side gets what it wants; by integration we find a way by which both sides may get what they wish."
-Mary Parker Follett

"Never regret. If it's good, it's wonderful. If it's bad, it's experience."
-Victoria Holt, The Black Opal, 1993

"You stay young as long as you can learn, acquire new habits and suffer contradiction."
-Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach, Aphorisms (1893)

"Good communication is as stimulating as black coffee, and just as hard to sleep after."
-Anne Morrow Lindbergh

"What we must decide is perhaps how we are valuable, rather than how valuable we are."
-F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896-1940)

Forgiveness saves the expense of anger, the high cost of hatred, and the waste of energy.

My favorite is: "May the lights on our highway of life always be green" - Sounds very cute! Best wishes!

I have this hanging in my kitchen and its my all time favorite....

Faith doesn't make things easy it makes them possible.

I must say I think what you are doing is such an awesome idea!

Best of luck!

"Home is where, when you have to go there, they have to take you in."
(from the poem "Death of the Hired Man" by Robert Frost).

"It takes a heap o' livin' in a house to make it home,
A heap o' sun an' shadder, an' ye sometimes have t' roam
Afore ye really 'preciate the things ye lef' behind,
An' hunger fer 'em somehow, with 'em allus on yer mind"
(from "Home" by Edgar A. Guest; not sure, it might be the whole poem here)

"Let me live in my house by the side of the road
And be a friend to man"
(from the poem "The House by the Side of the Road" by Sam Walter Foss)

I would also look through Bartlett' Familiar Quotations (your library should have a copy). That's where I looked these up to give you the sources.

Another one I couldn't find in Bartlett's: Mi cas es su casa (my house is your house); also "Make yourself at home".

Good luck, and I hope I didn't duplicate something you already had.
