APAD: A house is not a home

This English proverb draws the distinction between a bricks and mortar house and a caring domestic dwelling with memories and a feeling of belonging. 

No one is exactly sure of the first coinage of 'a house is not a home' but the first version known of in print comes from the American writer and women's rights advocate Margaret Fuller and it may well be that she coined it herself. Her early pro-feminist work Woman in the Nineteenth Century was published in 1845, containing this opinion: A house is no home unless it contains food and fire for the mind as well as the body.

Coco Chanel's quote :  It's not houses I love, it's the life I live in them.

Being another version reflecting the same mentality. 

No. It's an investment! Money is home (joking) :-)

Hahaha

A house is not a home~还有老外不喜欢housewife这个称呼。听过这种说法” I didn’t

marry a house. Don’t call me housewife. I am a home maker”.

Only in once case her husband's name is House

英语好像也有些改变。如今， Buy a home 或 Homes for sale 已经是正确的表达了。

瞬间想到脱口秀演员house 。就是今年出事那位。

这句和楼下唐宋兄的“我心安处是为家”异曲同工

A house occupied by souls and minds is a home :) 谢谢移哥分享。

中文家包含house和home. Decoupling of the two makes more accurate.

A novel definition of home.
