“What is a home? It is a roof to keep out the rain. Four walls to keep out the wind. Floors to keep out the cold. Yes, but it is more than that. It is the laugh of a baby, the song of a mother, the strength of a father. Warmth of loving hearts, light from happy eyes, kindness, loyalty, comradeship. It is the first school and the first church for the young.”
