It's only a house when it's filled with people you love.
The room has to be comfortable; the house has to look habitable.
A house is not a home unless it contains food and fire for the mind as well as the body.

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.
