Homeless

Poverty is a way of living and thinking, and not just a lack of money or things.
- Eric Butterworth

A home is not a mere transient shelter: its essence lies in the personalities of the people who live in it.
- Henry Lewis Mencken, 1880 - 1956

This is the true nature of home - it is the place of Peace; the shelter, not only from injury, but from all terror, doubt, and division.
- John Ruskin, 1819 - 1900

We think sometimes that poverty is only being hungry, naked and homeless. The poverty of being unwanted, unloved and uncared for is the greatest poverty. We must start in our own homes to remedy this kind of poverty.
- Mother Teresa, 1910 - 1997

Poverty, to be picturesque, should be rural. Suburban misery is as hideous as it is pitiable.
- Anthony Trollope, 1815 - 1882
