Famous quotes containing the word home:

    “Keep the home fires burning,
    While your hearts are yearning,
    Though your lads are far away
    They dream of home.
    There’s a silver lining
    Through the dark cloud shining;
    Turn the dark cloud inside out,
    Till the boys come home.”
    —Lena Guilbert Ford (1870–1916)
