Home is the one place in all this world
where hearts are sure of each other.
It is the place of confidence.
It is the place where we tear off that mask of guarded and
suspicious coldness which the world forces us to wear
in self-defense, and where we pour out the unreserved
communications of full and confiding hearts.
It is the spot where expressions of tenderness gush out
without any sensation of awkwardness
and without any dread of ridicule.
-Frederick W. Robertson
