Charles Dudley Warner
There are those who say that trees shade the garden too much, and interfere with the growth of the vegetables. There may be something in this:but when I go down the potato rows, the rays of the sun glancing upon my shining blade, the sweat pouring down my face, I should be grateful for shade.
Charles Dudley Warner

In onion is strength and a garden without it lacks flavour. The onion, in its satin wrappings, is among the most beautiful of vegetables and it is the only one that represents the essence of things. It can almost be said to have a soul.
Charles Dudley Warner
There is but one pleasure in life equal to that of being called on to make an after-dinner speech, and that is not being called on to make one.
