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.

A house is not a home unless it contains food and fire for the mind as well as the body.
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.
A house is no home unless it contain food and fire for the mind as well as for the body.
It's only a house when it's filled with people you love.
Sometimes, homely things are done for the best reasons in the world and thus achieve a beauty of their own.
One of the main uses of a home is to stay in it, when one is too weak and spiritless for conforming, without effort, to the ways of other houses.
Be what you would seem to be - or, if you'd like it put more simply - a house is no home unless it contains food and fire for the mind as well as the body.
I love my house. I love my family. I love my animals.
A home should be an intimate autobiography of the things that you like. One of the things I'm so keen on expressing is that, if you don't do it for yourself, if you're always seeking affirmation from outside, you'll never have a home. It'll just be a house.
You must never aspire to 'finish' a house, you can merely hope to start it, and from then on it's an evolutionary process.
