Charles Dudley Warner
The chief effect of talk on any subject is to strengthen one's own opinions, and, in fact, one never knows exactly what he does believe until he is warmed into conviction by the heat of attack and defence.
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.
Charles Dudley Warner
What a man needs in gardening is a cast-iron back, with a hinge in it.
Charles Dudley Warner
The tenure of a literary reputation is the most uncertain and fluctuating of all.
Charles Dudley Warner
How many wars have been caused by fits of indigestion, and how many more dynasties have been upset by the love of woman than by the hate of man?
Charles Dudley Warner
Goodness comes out of people who bask in the sun, as it does out of a sweet apple roasted before the fire.
Charles Dudley Warner
Nothing is worth reading that does not require an alert mind.
