Charles Dudley Warner
Public opinion is stronger than the legislature, and nearly as strong as the ten commandments.
Charles Dudley Warner
Hoeing in the garden on a bright, soft May day, when you are not obligated to, is nearly equal to the delight of going trouting.
Charles Dudley Warner
The thing generally raised on city land is taxes.
Charles Dudley Warner

Charles Dudley Warner
If you do things by the job, you are perpetually driven: the hours are scourges. If you work by the hour, you gently sail on the stream of Time, which is always bearing you on to the haven of Pay, whether you make any effort, or not.
