"The home is the empire! There is..." - Quote by Marcus Tullius Cicero
The home is the empire! There is no peace more delightful than one's own fireplace.

More on Home
“Hendersonville is home because I live there and I work there. But when I come back to Pennsylvania and see the crowds and the landscape, it's such a rush. It just feels like home.”
“I have travelled a good deal in Concord.”
“It's sad if people think that's (homemaking) a dull existance, [but] you can't just buy an apartment and furnish it and walk away. It's the flowers you choose, the music you play, the smile you have waiting. I want it to be gay and cheerful, a haven in this troubled world. I don't want my husband and children to come home and find a rattled woman. Our era is already rattled enough, isn't it?”
More on Peace
“He who makes war his profession cannot be otherwise than vicious. War makes thieves, and peace brings them to the gallows.”
“When you live in complete acceptance of what is, that is the end of all drama in your life.”
“The Musketaquid, or Grass-ground River, though probably as old as the Nile or Euphrates, did not begin to have a place in civilized history until the fame of its grassy meadows and fish attracted settlers out of England in 1635, when it received the other but kindred name of CONCORD from the first plantation on its banks, which appears to have commenced in a spirit of peace and harmony. It will be Grass-ground River as long as grass grows and water runs here; it will be Concord River only while men lead peacable lives on its banks.”
