Charles Dudley Warner
There is nothing that disgusts a man like getting beaten at chess by a woman.
Charles Dudley Warner
What a man needs in gardening is a cast-iron back, with a hinge in it.
Charles Dudley Warner
The stranger who receives the rare gift of human kindness holds its value in his heart forever.
