معنی
Home is the best place to be.

The 'Oost' and 'West' specifically refer to the Dutch East India Company (VOC) and West India Company (WIC) routes. The phrase is a popular 'wall sticker' or poster in modern Dutch homes, often in a minimalist font.
Use it as a sigh
This phrase is often said with a long exhale after sitting down. It's as much an emotion as it is a sentence.
The Tile Culture
If you see a small blue tile in a Dutch house, look for this phrase. It's the most common 'tegelwijsheid' (tile wisdom).
