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 angels wings. – Lydia Maria Child
Love consists in giving without getting in return in giving what is not owed, what is not due the other. Thats why true love is never based, as associations for utility or pleasure are, on a fair exchange. – Mortimer Adler
