More quotes by Charles Dudley Warner
Blessed be agriculture! if one does not have too much of it.
Charles Dudley Warner
It is only the fools who keep straining at high C all their lives.
Charles Dudley Warner

Charles Dudley Warner
I do not know the names of all the weeds and plants, I have to do as Adam did in his garden... name things as I find them.
Charles Dudley Warner

Charles Dudley Warner
There is no moment of delight in any pilgrimage like the beginning of it.
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 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
A cynic might suggest as the motto of modern life this simple legend-just as good as the real.
Charles Dudley Warner
To poke a wood fire is more solid enjoyment than almost anything else in the world.
Charles Dudley Warner
Plots are no more exhausted than men are. Every man is a new creation, and combinations are simply endless.
Charles Dudley Warner
What a man needs in gardening is a cast-iron back, with a hinge in it.
Charles Dudley Warner
Mud-pies gratify one of our first and best instincts. So long as we are dirty, we are pure.
