But one dead lamb is there!
There is no fireside, howsoever defended,
But has one vacant chair. [ Longfellow ]

Welcome, my old friend, Welcome to a foreign fireside. [ Longfellow ]

There is no place more delightful than one's own fireside. [ Cicero ]

There is no fireside, howsoe'er defended, but has one vacant chair! [ Longfellow ]

Distinction is an eminence that is attained but too frequently at the expense of a fireside. [ Simms ]

The instructions received at the mother's knee and the maternal lessons, together with the pious and sweet souvenirs of the fireside, are never effaced entirely from the soul. [ Lamennais ]
